The Court of High Misdemeanours in Zagreb on Wednesday ruled that the controversial nationalist singer Marko Perkovic, widely known as Thompson, did not violate public order and breach then peace with his use of the chant "Za dom spremni" ("Ready for the homeland") in his song Bojna Cavoglave.

Bozovic said after the meeting at the ministry he had no intention of interfering in RTCG's editorial policies.

"I respect the state of Montenegro. But like all Serbian people, I am especially sensitive about the fascist Ustasa movement," Bozovic told media.

"Two noteworthy events took place in Croatia during the past month that reflect in a very significant way on the phenomenon of Holocaust distortion, which is so rampant in post-Communist Eastern Europe," Zuroff writes, in an article entitled, "Failure to sincerely and honestly confront Ustasha crimes," and adds:

Media criticism of the nationalist flavour of Croatia's World Cup celebrations has angered right-wing fans - who have compiled a list of journalists that are reporting «negatively» about Croatia and are supposedly staining its reputation.

The black list of allegedly unpatriotic reporters has circulated on social networks and right-wing websites.

Marko Perkovic ‘Thompson’, a nationalist who has sung for war crimes defendants, partied with Croatia’s footballers on their homecoming bus and was invited to sing during celebrations of their World Cup second-place success.

Marko Perkovic, a singer known by his stage name 'Thompson', was found not guilty in a first-instance verdict on Wednesday of disturbing the public order by chanting "Za dom spremni" ("Ready for the home[land]"), the slogan of Croatian WWII fascist Ustasa movement.

Fascist slogans were chanted at a concert by Croatian nationalist singer Marko Perkovic ‘Thompson’ in the Bosnian town of Mostar in support of Bosnian Croat ex-officials on trial for war crimes.

At an official event, the Croatian political leadership sang a song penned by controversial nationalist singer Marko Perkovic “Thompson”, which celebrates the unrecognised 1990s Croat-lead Herzeg Bosnia.
