We captured maybe around thirty or more different vehicles, but kept only two of them, the rest are returned to the UN together with the UN soldiers.

Actually we have only one VBL. We kept one VBL, two YPR 765, one AVGP, and one Saxon

I'm not aware of the history behind this vehilce in Serbian service- could you explain please sir?


And surely the French would have wanted it back?

I mean Serbia has good relations with the West now so has this incident just been "written-off"?

They were all captured in Bosnia. NATO was bombing Serbian forces in Bosnia, so Serbs in retaliation took UN soldiers as hostages, and tied them up for bridges, military warehouses...... Around 400 UN soldiers were captured together with their equipment. At that time it was clear that UN mission is mostly working for NATO, and against the Serbs, so Serbs didn't have much respect for them. After that they stopped bombing us, and we returned their soldiers to them with most of their equipment. And now nobody cares for a few vehicles.

Last two are SJP, from Republic of Srpska, Serbian entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. SJP is police special force unit. They are Serbian special police unit, but not from Serbia, my bad
