Serbian Action (Serbian Cyrillic: Србска Акција) is a nationalist, neo-fascist movement in Serbia.
Ideology
Ideals of Serbian Action are largely based on teachings of saint Nikolaj Velimirović and Serbian politician Dimitrije Ljotić, leader of fascist movement Yugoslav national movement and quisling. Orthodox christianity is seen as one of the main pillars of society and they are strongly against secularism, advocating for the restoration of Orthodox monarchy that would be "expressed through the testamental Serbian vertical: God - King – Homekeeper". Greater cooperation between Christian Orthodox nations are presented as alternative to EU integrations. Serbian Action also holds strong anti-democratic views and expresses the idea of Parliament made up of representatives of professions rather than representatives of political parties. Considering themselves as pan-European and anti-Zionist, their actions are against multiculturalism, promotion of LGBT rights and drug legalization and for preservation of Serbian people and their biological survival.[1]
One of their symbols is celtic cross, who is in use in other neo-fascist movements in the world.
Activists of Serbian Action are encouraged to improve themselves spiritually and physically, all in purpose to become a "political soldier".
