They believe that their entry into the unit was banned due to their support for the student protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veterans of the 63rd Parachute Brigade gathered at the monument in front of the Banovina building because they wanted to mark the Brigade Day and the patron saint day themselves since they were not invited to the official celebration, this media reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For the first time in the history of the brigade since its existence, 81 years, veterans of the parachute brigade have been forbidden access to attend the patron saint day and the celebration of our unit. The most likely reason is that the majority of veterans took part in the protests and in the protection of students at the protests over the past year. This is most likely the reason for banning access to our unit, which we are very sorry about. It is difficult for all of us. Why we could not attend the Unit Day,&#8221; says Hasan Omerovi\u0107 for Ju\u017ene vesti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DPyI2t6DG8X\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
