Marko Perkovic, a controversial Croatian singer known for his nationalistic and far-right songs, held a concert in Zagreb that drew around 500,000 attendees. This event marked a significant turning point, as it showcased a rise in far-right sentiments and the display of Ustasha symbols. Following the concert, there have been multiple incidents of violence and intimidation against Croatia's Serbian minority, including disruptions at cultural events. Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic's government has faced criticism for its muted response to these developments, with some accusing it of fostering a climate of intolerance. Cultural commentators suggest that the rise of the far right in Croatia reflects broader trends across Europe, raising concerns about the potential for increased violence and the erosion of freedoms in the country.
