Serbia shuts down Russian 'military patriotic' youth camp


 

Police in Serbia stopped the activities of the “military and patriotic youth 
camps that was create by Russian and Serbian ‘patriotic’ veteran 
organizations,” reported Blic <https://www.blic.rs/>  news outlet.  “The camp 
on Zlatibor no longer exists,” Serbian Minister of Interior Nebojša Stefanović 
stated. 

The Minister said that he ordered the camp eliminated because of public concern 
and possible child abuse. He added that the Serbian authorities were in the 
final stages of dismantling the camp.

The camp’s closure was confirmed by its organizer, Zeljko Vukelic. “It’s just 
something that happened. We got a ban from the police of Užice. They arrived in 
the camp in the evening, at about 10 p.m. and asked us to close it,” he said.

The camp had been a popular mountain resort in Serbia that was frequented by 
about thirty people aged 14 to 23. Youths were taught first aid skills and to 
use cold-steel weapons and firearms. “Serbian-Russian friendship” was widely 
promoted in the camp.

Recently, a leader of Kosovo made an emergency statement regarding rising 
tensions with Serbia
