Neo-Nazism in Serbia mostly focuses on national and religious factors. Neo-Nazi organisations have few followers due to the widespread anti-Nazi sentiment in Serbia [citation needed] and due to the fact they are attacked by Serbian nationalists [citation needed].

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] In October 2007, 56 members on Nacionalni stroj were arrested after an open protest against the independence of Kosovo.[2]
Its leader Goran Davidović announced the movement will register a political party known as the "National Serb Party" for the 2008 elections.
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.[3] 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."[4] This organization, with chapters in several Serbian cities, has organized several memorial concerts on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth, starting in 2001.[5]
Obraz
The Obraz Fatherland Movement is classified as a clerical fascist organization by the Serbian Ministry of the Interior.[6] The group has come out in support of Nacionalni stroj.[7] In December 2007 the group's members attempted to interrupt Human Rights Day celebrations on Republic Square with chants of Ustaše, Kill the faggots and There will be meat, we will massacre the Croats among others.[8]
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.[9]
