Yugoslavia used old WW-2-German equipment for a longer time after WW2. Mind that it was occupied by Germany during the 2nd World War and the newly formed Yugoslavian army used captured German equipment. Only later they would get Soviet weapons. Related pic:
Yugoslavian soldiers posing withMP40s and localy produced K98k rifles:
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Post WW2 Operation Highjump.

An Operation to train soldiers with extreme conditions? or they were looking for the Nazi "Colony" in the Area?
