What makes it abandoned? Was I manned when it was new but then people stopped monitoring it? I thought they just kinda start out abandoned. You set them up, then leave them alone.

Probably because Yugoslavia isn't a country anymore and it may not be marking a modern border.

I’d call that “obsolete” then.
An obsolete obelisk.

You only think it's abandoned until you try to remove it.
