Neo-Nazism in Serbia mostly focuses on national and religious factors. Serb neo-Nazi organisations have few followers due to the widespread anti-Nazi sentiment in Serbia.
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, and each of the suspects facing up to eight years in prison.[1] The group is still active, as was shown by a display of religious hatred in 2007.[2] In October 2007, 56 members on Nacionalni stroj were arrested after an open protest against the independence of Kosovo.[3]
Neo-Nazi skinheads
In 2006, two Israeli citizens were severely beaten in a Belgrade park by a group of white power skinheads wearing Nazi symbols.[4] According to the Serbian Jewish community, this was not the first such attack.
The white power skinhead organization Blood and Honour 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. 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."[5] This organization, with chapters in several Serbian cities, has organized several memorial concerts on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth, starting in 2001.[6][7]
64 Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom
The Hungarian group 64 Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom (Serbian: Omladinski pokret 64 županije (Youth Movement 64 counties)) is also active in Serbia. It promotes the unification of the territory of the 64 comitati of the Kingdom of Hungary. It ran under the Hungarian Union national minority coalition in the 2007 parliamentary election. In November 2007, the group organized a concert of alleged neo-Nazis in Subotica, which was cancelled.[8]
