context_section_description: The Day of the Serbian Police and Interior Ministry (Serbian: Дан српске полиције и Министарство унутрашњих послова) is celebrated on 12 June. Also known as Serbian MUP Day, they are celebrated in the memory of the events in 1862 when the Serbian Gendarmery of the Principality of Serbia played the crucial role in the conflicts in the Čukur Fountain incident in Belgrade on June 15. Over the next two days, the Ottoman bombing of Belgrade occurred.
  Policemen and women often parade before the Interior Minister and/or the President of Serbia during the holiday. The parade includes hardware, police aviation, mounted cavalry, as well as an exhibition of law enforcement strength. Wreaths are laid at the Čukur Fountain by MUP officials. Medals for diligent service are also distributed to MUP personnel.
