Even though most of the members are Montenegrins, and thus were supporters of Montenegrin independence, during the referendum campaign period Varvari frequently emphasized the fact they are non-political group, with no interest in political issues. They also furiously oppose any form of implementation of gay rights in Montenegro, as they besieged the building of Montenegrin national television during the guest appearance of notable gay rights activist from Serbia. They are also sporadically engaged in fights with Montenegrin Police and other football firms, notably those from Serbia.
