Narrative Summary:
During the 1970s a Federal Police Aviation Unit was established to reinforce the regional police forces of the constituent republics of Yugoslavia. All helicopters carried civilian markings.
When riots broke out in Kosovo in 1989 and 1990, helicopters were used to break up the mass demonstrations by Serbs of Albanian descent. AB212s were used to transport special forces units to rebel strongholds.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991 a Federal force was no longer required, and the helicopters were transferred to the Serbian security services (RDB).
