A member of the 41st Infantry Battalion of the Fourth Army Brigade, Corporal B.J., died yesterday in the Health Center in Bujanovac, where he was transferred after losing consciousness during a physical fitness test at the “Jug” base, the Ministry of Defense announced.
Corporal B.J. was born on July 20, 1982, in Surdulica. He had been in the Serbian Army since 2004. He was married and a father of three children.
Petar Bošković, a member of the Presidency of Serbia Centre and former head of the Public Relations Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, claims that he died because there was no doctor at the base when he became ill.
Vojnik po ugovoru Branislav Jovanovic je danas na proveri fizičke sposobnosti u bazi Jug, preminuo! U najmodernijoj bazi u Vojsci Srbije nije bilo doktora na proveri? Sanitet stigao sa Borovca gde se izvodi vežba sa NATO-Platinasti vuk, ali nažalost kasno! Kad je dosta bre Vojsko pic.twitter.com/aIMzV1aYHZ

“Contract soldier Branislav Jovanović died today during a physical fitness test at the Jug base! In the most modern base in the Serbian Army, there was no doctor during the test? The ambulance arrived from Borovac, where the exercise with NATO – Platinum Wolf is being conducted, but unfortunately too late! When is enough, Army,” Bošković wrote on the social network X.
In a comment on his post, Bošković added that the ambulance should have been at the Jug base.
“I mentioned NATO and the Platinum Wolf exercise because they are also hiding and minimizing that. If it had been with the Russians, bells would have been ringing at the Temple of Saint Sava, not just on TV,” Bošković stated.
