A pro-Moscow Serbian sniper posted a video of other Serbian-speaking fighters on YouTube which he said was filmed at a training camp in Russia where they were getting ready to join the war against Ukraine. Dejan Beric, a Serbian sniper who is well-known in his home country for fighting on the Russian side in Ukraine, has posted a video on YouTube showing what he described as a training camp for volunteer fighters preparing to join the war against Ukraine. Beric says in the video, which was uploaded on Monday, that the camp is located in Russia and shows how Serbians are preparing to fight the Ukrainian front. The video shows several people speaking in Serbian while cooking food on a fire in a forest, followed by footage of a tent in which the volunteers sleep during their training course. “This is what a Russian army tent looks like – real men,” Beric says in the video. Beric has often spoken publicly about his involvement in the war in Ukraine and has repeatedly urged Serbs to come and fight for Russia. In September, he published a video in which he explained to potential volunteers how they can join the Russian invasion. Fighting in a foreign war is illegal in Serbia. But pro-Russian sentiments are strong among Serbian nationalists and the Serbian courts have convicted 29 people of going to fight in Ukraine since Russia began its war there in 2014. As well as Beric’s video of the alleged Russian training camp for foreign volunteers, BIRN has seen similar pictures posted by another Serb called Zika Radojicic on Russian social media network vKontakte.
