A Serbian court sentenced three neo-Nazis to up to 25 days in prison for attacking an anti-fascist rally in Novi Sad.
The three men were among 60 members of the pro-fascist National Front arrested Sunday during a demonstration by some 5,000 people. The sentences were handed down Tuesday.
The National Front had planned a rally for the same day, but its demonstration was banned by local authorities following an outcry from Jewish and anti-racism groups.
