Hate graffiti targeting Serbs appears in Slavonski Brod

A hateful graffiti targeting Serbs appeared overnight on the facade of a former restaurant in Slavonski Brod, Croatia, sparking concern and prompting a police investigation.

The graffiti, located on a prominent site along the Sava promenade, featured not only offensive messages but also symbols linked to the far-right. These included a stylized letter 'U' with a cross, associated with the Ustaše movement of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), and a cross in a circle, a symbol resembling a Celtic cross often used by contemporary neo-Nazi and extremist groups.

Authorities have been notified and are actively searching for those responsible for creating the graffiti. The message is seen as inciting violence and hatred against members of the Serbian national minority.

At this time, it remains unknown when the graffiti was written or who is behind it. The incident underscores ongoing tensions and the presence of extremist ideologies in the region.
