Neo-Nazi movements in Serbia mostly focus on national and religious factors. There are five Serb ("Blood and Honor Serbia", "National Engine", "Skinheads" "Racial Nationalists - Racionalists" and "Cheek") and one Magyar ("Youth Movement '64 Counties'") neo-Nazi groups in Serbia, all of which have strongholds in Vojvodina. Serbian Radical Party opposition leader Tomislav Nikolić has denied the existence of neo-Nazis in the country.[1]
Organizations
Nacionalni stroj
The most well-known neo-Nazi organization in Serbia is Nacionalni stroj (National Alignment). It is based in the Serbian region of Vojvodina, and has orchestrated several incidents since 2005. In late 2005, charges were pressed against 18 of the leading members in Novi Sad , each of the suspects facing up to eight years in prison.[2] The group is still active, as was shown by a display of religious hatred in 2007.[3] In October 2007, 56 members on Nacionalni stroj were arrested after an open protest against the independence of Kosovo.[4]
Skinheads
In 2006, two Israeli citizens were severely beaten in a Belgrade park by a group of white power skinheads wearing Nazi symbols.[5] According to the Serbian Jewish community, this was not the first such attack.
Blood and Honour Serbia
The Blood and Honour white power skinhead organization has a branch in Serbia, where it is called Krv i čast. On their official website, members of the Serbian branch claim they intend "to propagate revolutionary idea of National Socialism without compromise. Also, the intention of Serbian Blood and Honour Division is to motivate all NS followers to radical activities and not only to passive observing or listening to the music."[6] This organization, with chapters in several Serbian cities, has organized several memorial concerts on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth, starting in 2001.[7][8]
Omladinski pokret 64 županije
The controversial Hungarian group Omladinski pokret 64 županije (Youth Movement 64 counties) is also active in Serbia. It stands for unification of the territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, as well as historic Vojvodinian territory southwards in the City of Belgrade, with Hungary. It ran on the Hungarian Union national minority coalition at the 2007 parliamentary election. In November of 2007, the group organized a oncert of alleged Neo-Nazis in Subotica which was eventually cancelled.[9]
