BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbian riot police fought running battles on Sunday with hundreds of far-right supporters who hurled Molotov cocktails and stun grenades to try to disrupt a gay pride march in downtown Belgrade. Over 120 people were hurt and nearly 190 were arrested, officials said.

Obviously because over and over we're told we must accept all cultures and Islam. Islam won't accept Western values but we must accept it. That will be a big problem.

The bulk of the Belgrade is fairly homogeneous with the Serbian Orthodox Church having the most impact on the culture.

Lunatic fringe in this country does not have as much impact, thankfully.

Since the Tea Party is allying with British neofascists in the BNP and EDL maybe they'll ally with Serbian right wing ultranationalists next.
