In Belgrade, and southern parts of Serbia especially. Not so much in Vojovodina (northern part of Serbia), because there is around 25 nations living in this region, and beeing a Hungarian, Serbian, Slovakian nationalist leaves you quite isolated from the majority. But in the southern Serbia, where Serbs are 90% of population, it is usual to see nazis on hardcore and punk gigs, even when members of the band are not "arian".
On the other hand, MDB supported traditional anti-fa gig (this November the 9-th it will be 16-th manifestation in a row) in Novi Sad, Serbia, where some of the toughest anti-fa crew is organized in entire Balkans. So I am left a bit in wonder from reading your text about MDB, and personal conversation with the band (altought it was just for half an hour).
Just some info on the topic. Thanx.
