Comments

Industrijsko Zanatsko Preduzeće — the Industrial Craft Enterprise of the MUP FNRJ (Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia) — operated Zemun as a postwar labor camp, not a conventional prison. The "Uprava Radnog Logora" designation, Labor Camp Administration, places this note squarely within the OZNA/UDBA detention infrastructure that processed tens of thousands of collaborators, Chetniks, and political prisoners in the years immediately following 1945.

Camp scrip of this type was issued to control internal purchasing and prevent detainees from accumulating Yugoslav dinars redeemable outside the wire. The Campbell reference acknowledges it; surviving examples are genuinely rare, as most camp-issue scrip was destroyed or confiscated upon release or transfer of prisoners.
