Croatian legal and political systems tolerate, if not openly encourage, neo-Nazi symbols and propaganda. The photoshopped image was in protest of this.

The owner of the site was intimidated by searching his house and keeping him at the police station overnight. (!) In the morning, they let him go home because there was zero evidence against him.

Meanwhile, Croatian web teeming with pro-Nazi sites and contents, but no one has been held responsible.

No he’s not, and you are an idiot for implying that he is. Read the article carefully.

He was apprehended under the notion of portraying and promoting fascist imagery, when in fact someone saw a photoshop job which depicted Sanaders head pasted on a nazi uniform.

That means that they know that fascism is bad and that they identify Sanaders activities and agenda with those of the fascists.

I don’t think that that should be considered as promoting fascism.

It satire at most.

Maybe he was indeed a neo-Nazi activist?

In Ukraine, we have score of neo-Nazi activists who use Livejournal and Blogger and any other means to promote inter-racial and inter-ethnic hatered.
