A range of nationalist songs, cheering for Kosovo, displaying flags with four ‘fire striker’ shapes and mass violation of the epidemiological measures – this all happened at last night’s “humanitarian” concert in the town of Tivat, organised by the Brotherhood of Serbian Youth. And while the public reacted strongly after seeing the scenes, the local government, backed by the SDP and URA, remained silent, reports the Gradski portal (eng. the City’s portal).

President of the Croatian Civic Initiative, Adrijan Vuksanovic, says that Boka residents were upset to see last night’s “Greater Serbia performance in Tivat”.
He’s worried about the silence of the Civic Movement URA and the SDP, adding that both parties used to criticise representatives of minority nations for making up the coalition with the DPS.
However, the political observer, Srdjan Vukadinovic, assesses that the SDP, even though in power in Tivat, could not prevent the last night’s gathering.
“The SDP is a weak coalition partner, just like the SD, because both have only two councillors. They are not strong enough to stop these situations,” he says. According to him, the main culprit is the Civic Movement URA which made this all possible.
A historian Novak Adzic notes that last night’s show in Tivat was nothing new, adding that the local government should take responsibility for it.
The SDP MP Draginja Vuksanovic and their spokesperson Mirko Stanic didn’t want to comment on an outpouring of nationalism from last night’s gathering.
