Far-right activists protest in Belgrade to mark the 25th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia on March 24.

Supporters of extreme right-wing movements in Serbia took part in a demonstration in Belgrade on March 24 on the 25th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The demonstration was held near the building of the former General Staff, which was destroyed during the bombing that lasted 11 weeks and killed between 1,200 and 2,500 people. The ultra-right Narodna Patrola organization, known for its support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, called for the demonstration, which featured the Serbian flag with the letter Z -- the symbol of the Russian invasion of Ukraine -- displayed along with pro-Russian banners.
