Serbia's court bans neo-Nazi group

None

Serbia's Constitutional Court has banned a neo-Nazi group as part of the country's attempts to curb far-right extremists.

 

The court ruled Thursday that the group known as Nacionalni Stroj, or National Order, was a "secret organization" whose work is contrary to the country's laws. The decision came three years after the state prosecutor requested the ban. Authorities have been trying to curb the extremists' violence that has been afflicting the country since the end of Balkan wars of the 1990s. Last October, over 100 people were injured in clashes between extremists and the police securing a gay gathering. (AP)
