Commissioner for Protection of Equality Brankica Jankovic strongly condemns swastika drawings that appeared on several houses in Leskovac, including the wall of Safe House. Drawing swastikas in a country that suffered greatly during the combat against fascism directly insults all citizens, revealing the ignorance about basic history and misunderstanding of ideology represented by this symbol. In this regard, children and youth should be continuously taught and reminded of the values of anti-fascism, peace and tolerance.
Jankovic warns that drawing of these fascist symbols is impermissible and that reaction in every particular case is needed. She said that she expects fast reaction of authorities.
