Niko hails from what is now Serbia, which was once part of Yugoslavia in Eastern Europe. During the 1990s, this region was in a state of frequent turmoil and civil war. It's heavily implied that Niko was coerced or forced into service in the army as a teen. The experience scarred him, and he deals with the fallout from his (and his friend's/family's) actions during the war over the course of the game.

Further discussion of the Yugoslav Wars is probably outside the scope of this site, but there's a good Wikipedia article on it.
