The minister was in the area to spend the Julian calendar – the so-called Orthodox New Year – with the Gendarmes on duty there. “There is illegal deforestation, theft, smuggling, especially of excise goods, since there is no administrative crossing in this area, and our forces are struggling to stop the crossing of terrorist groups to our area,” Dacic said. The camp that he visited is located near the village of Matovac. There is not even a macadam road leading to it, so the minister took some time to reach the Gendarmes stationed there.
