The food was allegedly given to the asylum seekers by the Red Cross, a claim the organisation has now denied. After the verbal attack, the migrants can be seen packing up and moving on. Mr Zivkovic also complained that the local police did nothing after he contacted them, as the officials were not authorised to intervene.

The police's decision not to stop the alleged selling of the parcels caused outrage in the country, with allegations that Serbs that try and set up roadside stalls are arrested and fined, whereas asylum seekers are left unpunished. The Serbian Chetnik movement leader has become a controversial figure in Serbia after he served as a commander of the Serb Chetnik militia in Crimea in eastern Ukraine, fighting on the Russian side. The country’s Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vucic, has previously accused Mr Zivkovic and his followers of being paid mercenaries of the Russians.
