THE "MARSHAL TITO"
ARMY BARRACKS

The Yugoslav National Army barracks were in the city center, surrounded by streets which led from the center to the new parts of the city. The average speed of a car passing the barracks was 120 kilometers per hour (nearly 80 mph) in order to avoid the bullets. While driving one also had to avoid the steel "hedgehogs" placed along the street to prevent tanks from exiting. When in 1992 the Yugoslav National Army was moved out of the barracks, the Ukrainian UNPROFOR battalion moved in. The local black marketers found them the most cooperative part of UNPROFOR because they could get fuel, cans of food and cigarettes for dollars and German marks or trade them for porno magazines. The building was partly burnt and damaged and some of its parts were used to build the Survival Art Museum in front of the National Theater in 1994.
