Five neo-Nazis attacked a group of Romas in the Croatian capital of Zagreb in the night between Thursday and Friday, an NGO says. The Association of Young Antifascists of Zagreb said in a statement that the incident occurred when two attackers hurled insults and tried to set on fire a dump that the Roma collected scrap materials from.

Five young men returned, armed with Molotov cocktails, throwing them at the trucks the Roma used, and dowsing one of them with inflammable liquid. The association believes that the only motive for the attack was the victims' skin color, and this represents "open racism, neo-Nazism of the worst kind that we must all fight together, instead of waiting for someone else to solve our problems".
