Recovered at Crni Lug near Bosansko Grahovo- 44 4'36.32"N 1634'19.75"E

Any idea from what aircraft it might be?

No idea what it could be from. Were there any other airplane parts in the area? Can't imagine it just fell off in flight. Must be a crash scene somewhere near. Might be off some sort of AA rocket/missile, as well.

i have reports of Serbian J22 Eagle shot down by own air defenses by SA-7 Grail missile, also of UAV hit by AA defenses in area where this part is found, and of F-16 hit by missile some 100km to the north.
 
Hi,
I can`t tell you which aircraft it is, but it`s definately not F-16 and neither a J22. Their pitot tubes are differently shaped.

colleague from air defenses have identified it as part from SA75 Dvina AA missile.
 
Hi al'saad,Nice find you have there,now it has been identified my post is irrelevant but I was going to ask if there were any part numbers/inspection stamps,I have recovered similar items from WW2 crash sites,but they were nowhere near as robust as your find,thanks for showing,
Stay safe,Regards,
Don,
