Members of the ultra right movement from Europe announced a meeting and a march for the weekend as a sign of support to the Croatian generals sentenced in the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

As a response to the actions of the ultra-right movement, the activists of the Citizens' Initiative called on anti-fascists to stage a counter-meeting in downtown Zagreb on Saturday.

Croatian President Ivo Josipovic joined in on the severe criticism as regards the nationalist meeting in Croatian public and media on Tuesday.
