-Members of "Obraz" Movement are also active at the Philological Faculty. In late 2001 they
-staged the First Assembly of the Orthodox-National Youth at the [[Belgrade University]] after 1944.
-Participants in the Assembly were members of society “Sveti Justin Filozof”, Serbian Assembly
-"Dveri", and the Serbian Orthodox priests. Rade Bozovic, the Dean of the Philological Faculty, backed hate speech which permeated all addresses heard at this assembly, those on the Orthodox religion,
-nationalism, [[anti-Communism]], [[anti-globalisation]], and monarchism. However most emphasised was the “Spiritual vertical of the [[History of the Serbs|Serb history]] and [[Serbs|Serb people]]”. The rally underlined the spiritual authority of [[Justin Popovic]] and [[Nikolaj Velimirović]] and urged creation of the Serb state in line with their ideas. There were many priests and also girls dressed in [[Serbian dress|Serb folk-costumes]]. The Assembly also called on reconciliation between followers of [[Dimitrije Ljotić]], [[Milan Nedić]], [[Draža Mihailović]], and dissemination of their ideas in schools.
-According to Professor Dr. Ljubiša Rajić, the message on the Obraz' web site: "re-hashes old ideas of Serb fascism, which attach primary importance to assembly-making, monarchy, clericalism, conservatism, and [[patriarchal]] culture. Moreover those ideas are currently openly espoused by contemporary ideologues of [[Serb nationalism]], the far-right parties and some Serbian Orthodox priests”.
-But that [[LGBT]] [[Homophobia|bashing]] is characteristic also of other
-organisations, like Homeland Front "Obraz", which according to Nebojsa M. Krstic, president of
-movement "verbally fights against abuses of human rights committed for the sake of legalisation of
-sexually deviant homosexuals and lesbians and numerous sects in our country"
-Obraz (Icon), the Fatherland Movement of Serbia and extreme nationalist organizations associated with the Serbian Orthodox Church including Sveti Stefan. Obraz has offered its support to neo-Nazi group [[Nacionalni stroj|National Front]].<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSL07655535 Serbian police arrest members of neo Nazi group]</ref>
