The shooting of Nikola Štedul was an attempted assassination in Kirkcaldy, Scotland in 1988. The victim, Nikola Štedul, was a Croatian emigrant from what was then Yugoslavia. He had been the president the Croatian Statehood Movement, campaigning for Croatian independence from Yugoslavia. Vinko Sindičić arrived in the UK, {{When|date=March 2016}} traveling with a Swiss passport. Early on the morning of 20 October 1988, Štedul, who was walking his dog, was shot at four times by Sindičić.[1] Štedul survived the shooting and Sindičić was arrested at Heathrow Airport. The Yugoslav embassy subsequently provided an alibi that Sindičić was in the country watching the Scotland-Yugoslavia football match on 19 October. However, residue from the firearm was found on Sindičić's skin. Following an eleven-day trial he was found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to 15 years in jail. The assassination attempt was subject of a 1994 movie by Scottish Television, The Yugoslav Hitman.[2] See also{{Portal|1980s}}
