  Alert!: Croatian hate music group banned in Netherlands
A concert by the Croatian rock band Thompson - named after the machine gun of the same name - was cancelled in Amsterdam at the end of November after its lead singer, Marko Perkovic, was accused of giving the Hitler-salute at previous concerts and the group was attacked for its sympathy with Nazi ideas.
In Zagreb in February 2003, for instance, when the Croatian handball team became world champion after beating Germany in the finals, Perkovic shouted the Ustasha war cry at the reception for the team… and was duly given a Nazi-salute response from dozens of people in the crowd.
In August last year, Thompson organised a public demonstration to honour the Ustasha in the Croatian town of Slavonski Brod and, on 15 September, the band performed at the Hajduk Split soccer stadium and gave Nazi-salutes.

It is primarily rooted in the Croatian epic poetry with emphasis on important historical or patriotic events.
Croatian pop music is fairly often listened to in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and Montenegro due to the union of Yugoslavia that existed until the 1990s.

 Siniša Vuco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
He presented himself as one of the first Croatian musicians to introduce elements of Bosnian and Serbian folk music in his work, in a time when it was politically incorrect for Croatians to do so.
Apart from having a turbo-folk career, Siniša Vuco is also a vocalist and guitarist for the hard rock band Živo Blato, for which he writes most of the songs.
Although many in Croatian public considered his TV presentation to be the most original and the most entertaining part of the entire campaign, most people saw his candidacy more as a publicity stunt than a genuine effort to start political career.

They figured out correctly that, since Bosnia and Croatia are now a con-federation, and since Croatian Center carries frescos of Sarajevo and Mostar (with the bridge, of course) on its walls, it is their center, too.

 Rise And Fall E
In Sarajevo, Punk and Rock musicians inventively reacted to the cultural clash between "seljaci" (villagers or peasants) and the "gradska raja" (urbane): They founded the "Novi Primitivci" (New Primitives), a cultural movement satirising the cultural and political backwardness of a increasing number of their fellow citizens.
The Rock bands of 1989 may have still been indebted to the heritage of Yugoslav Punk and New Wave music, but by being reduced to a cultural minority - were far too adventurous to be satisfied by playing punky versions of old Rock songs.
Though Rock and Roll was no longer the leading style in music and culture, the clear anti-war stand taken by some of the greatest early eighties pop idols, made an impact on Belgrade’s youth.
