<br><font size=3D2 face=3D”Arial”> "That
this is not a gesture of drunken or arrogant youth, but a conscious message
to the Roma community is shown by the fact that a Celtic cross, a symbol
mostly used by neo-Nazis, is drawn on the pillar under the torn billboard,&=
quot;
emphasizes Opre Roma.</font>
<br><font size=3D2 face=3D”Arial”> The movement
points out that the Roma community in Serbia is "extremely upset and
concerned by this gesture" and calls on the prosecution and the Interi=
or
Ministry to find the perpetrators and punish them appropriately, and "=
publicly
announce their names as a gesture to show that fascism and neo-Nazism are
not acceptable "and that" all promoters of that ideology that
took millions of lives will be publicly marked ".</font>
<br><font size=3D2 face=3D”Arial”> The ORS
movement also expects a reaction from the mayor of Novi Sad, Milo=B9 Vu=E8e=
vi=E6,
regarding that "shameful and unacceptable gesture", emphasizing
that such a gesture "must not and cannot be acceptable for modern
society, especially not for the city that holds the title of European Capit=
al
