ZAGREB (AFP)---Zagreb mayor Milan Bandic on Tuesday slammed a lack of police action over the brandishing of pro-Nazi symbols at a music concert in the capital a month ago.
"There is video footage of those people ... but they have not been sanctioned yet," Bandic was quoted as saying by the Hina news agency.
Some 60,000 people attended the concert by Marko Perkovic, known by his stage name Thompson, which was organised in Zagreb's main square by veterans of Croatia's 1991-1995 war of independence from the former Yugoslavia.
Symbols of the Nazi-allied Ustasha regime were brandished during the concert, while some fans were seen using the Nazi salute, according to local NGOs which condemned the performance.
Bandic said he was "appalled by that iconography and what it stands for," according to the Javno.hr website.
After the concert, police said no forbidden symbols had been brandished, while local media published pictures suggesting otherwise.
The Ustasha killed hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, anti-fascist Croatians, Roma and others in Croatian concentration camps during World War II.
