Dušan the Mighty (Serbian: Душан Силни, Dušan Silni) was a Serbian paramilitary force that was active in the Croatian War of Independence in 1991. It was the armed wing of the Serbian National Renewal political party, led by Mirko Jović. The unit cooperated with the White Eagles and Serbian Chetnik Movement paramilitary groups and with Serbian Army of Krajina. It was present in the Battle of Borovo Selo, where twelve Croatian policemen were killed, and the Lovas killings, where members of Dušan the Mighty force and Yugoslav People's Army killed 70 civilians. Due to their involvement in Lovas, its members were later charged with war crimes by the Serbian Public Prosecutor's Office for War Crimes.
