Will a commemorative concert be held in Belgrade on Saturday in honor of neo-Nazi Ian Stuart Donaldson, the founder of the Blood and Honor network? Announcements for the annual gathering of neo-Nazis, which is held across Europe in September, have been circulating on the internet in recent days. Club 28 appears as the organizer of the meeting, behind which is the banned organization Blood and Honor. The police claim they do not report such a meeting.

In the place where the concert should take place, there is no trace or voice about it. The warning voice that the Memorial to Ian Stuart Donaldson should be held in BIGZ, is disseminated on social networks and on the site of Blood and Parts, the network that this Brit founded.

The organization of the opposing ideological orientation publicly warned about the preparation of such a meeting.

“They spread anti-Semitism, xenophobia, hatred. They are openly neo-Nazi and pro-fascist organizations, and we just warned the public to avoid that concert, that the state authorities prevent that concert for the simple reason, number one, carrying out such propaganda is as much as it was primitive, it is very dangerous, ”said Aleksandar Đenić by SKOJ.

“Pure neo-Nazism must be stopped. And then we have a lot of work to do to organize other extremist movements, groups, that strong anti-immigrant movement that exists and that constant and permanent hatred and violence against the LGBT community,” says Ivan Đurić of the Youth Initiative. for human rights.

There is also no announcement of the meeting in the BIGZ room, and building security assures us that there will be no concert. After the public alarm, they say, the police came to check what was being prepared there. The same response and assurance from the Interior Ministry that no one reported such a meeting.

“But the police, after this information appeared in the media, carried out all the necessary controls. In the event of a possible meeting, the police, in cooperation with other state agencies, will act in accordance with the law and take the necessary measures.” said the MUP.

With or without the concert, there is a legal basis to react to any neo-Nazi gathering, recalls the Youth Initiative for Human Rights.

“The law on the prohibition of neo-Nazi and fascist demonstrations has been in force for more than ten years, and the clearest law in our legal system is that it has nine articles and deals solely with the prohibition of such events,” says Đurić.

In previous years, attempts have been made to organize similar concerts in various places. Two years ago, one of those concerts was supposed to take place at the Garage Club, but that club distanced itself from Club 28, despite the concert announcements being shared on social media.

At that time, the Enneacists chose October 20 as the date for the encounter, which is the day of the liberation of Belgrade in World War II.
