Croatian fans chant fascist slogans in Italy

The first interruption of the game happened in the first half of the game when flares were lit. Moreover, the Croatian fans once again promoted fascist ideology during a football game

, when they shouted the Ustasha salute, "For home ready" ("Za dom spremni"), chanted "Let's go, Ustashas," and unfurled a giant flag with the Ustasha symbol, the letter "U", printed on it.

The Ustasha regime was in power in the WW2-era, Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH), an entity responsible for running death camps where Serbs, Jews, and Roma were murdered.

Considering UEFA's "zero tolerance" stance toward political, and in particular fascist messages during football games, Croatia is expected to face new penalties.

After Serbia's fans several years ago caused unrest in Genoa, Italy, Italy was awarded a 3-0 victory while Serbia was ordered to play the next match in an empty stadium.
