- The camp in Morovic is set up. The Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the competent sanitary services determine who can enter the camp, in accordance with doctors’ assessments and, of course, our citizens who have no registered residence in the territory of our country. I ask all citizens to follow the instructions, to listen to the competent authorities and thus protect themselves and other citizens - said the Minister of Defence, Aleksandar Vulin, who, accompanied by the Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, General Milan Mojsilović, visited the tent settlement in Morović today erected by the Serbian Armed Forces to accommodate Serbian nationals returning from abroad.

The Ministry of Defence, together with the Serbian Armed Forces, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the members of the Border Police, and of course the competent health services, will take care of the health of the people accommodated in the Morović camp - said Minister Vulin.The Minister of Defence pointed out that the Serbian Armed Forces will establish several more quarantine camps for those coming from the countries affected by the coronavirus, as appropriate.
