Comments

Zemun was the site of a large postwar labor camp operated by the Yugoslav Ministry of Interior, holding both convicted war criminals and a significant number of political prisoners — categories the regime often conflated. The notes issued by the camp's Industrial Trade Enterprise (Industrijsko Zanatsko Preduzeće) functioned as internal scrip, allowing prisoners assigned to labor details to acquire goods within the camp system without access to dinara that could facilitate escape or outside contact.

MUP-administered camp scrip of this type is rarely documented in standard catalogs. Most examples that survive do so by accident — smuggled out, overlooked during camp liquidation, or preserved by former prisoners.
