Tonight, Marko Perković Thompson's concert will be held at the Zagreb Hippodrome, for which, according to the organizers, around half a million tickets have been sold.
Everything points to the fact that it will be the biggest concert ever held in the history of Croatia. That is why tourists are warned.
Namely, passengers who landed in Zagreb at Franjo Tuđman International Airport were greeted by an unusual notification.

Raised hands and Nazi salute
The crowd around the Hippodrome is not decreasing, nor are the numerous recordings and photos of inappropriate songs and numerous moves by individuals which associate to the greeting"Heil Hitler".
If we know how to rebel against Yugoslav flags and communist insignia, then we will not be hypocrites, but we should clearly and loudly condemn such a minority. The theme of the concert is faith, love and homeland, not the raised right hand in the air, which is most associated with the greeting"Heil Hitler"— Frane (@FraneIkic) July 5, 2025

"They came to atone for their sins"
And the ladies go to Thompson's concert.
Namely, on the X social network, a photo of the nuns going to the concert together with other fans of Thompson was shared.
One of them is draped with the Croatian flag, even her sleeves are red and part of the Croatian flag is draped with it.
#cheosvim The abbesses also came to the pro-fascist Thompson, a little to atone for their sins, and a little to salute the Nazi salute to the long-buried NDH! Holocaust distortion is in full swing. Poor Vatican with them. #Hrvatska #Croatia #Zagreb #Thompson #tagzivota— Rayan (@Rayan37779895) July 5, 2025
"The abbesses came to the pro-fascist Thompson, a little to atone for their sins, and a little to salute the Nazi salute to the long-buried NDH! The distortion of the Holocaust is in full swing. Poor Vatican with them," the tweet of the same name reads.

Mass glorification of the Ustasha
The crowds around the Hippodrome don't stop building. Everyone wears black clothes, berets, Croatian flags and t-shirts with Croatian motifs and shouting:"Ready for home"
Many songs at his concerts begin with the Ustasha greeting "Za dom spremni".
The lyrics of his songs celebrate the history of NDH and the action of the Storm.

There was no police reaction.
A visibly intoxicated man was today in Središće, near Avenija Dubrovnik, and not far from the Hippodrome, shouting the Ustasha song"Jasenovac i Gradiška Stara", which Marko Perković Thompson once sang at concerts. He carried a flag that read"Broad Brig"
It is a song that celebrates Ustasha criminals Jura Francetić and Maks Luburić.
These are the lyrics to the song in question:
"Jasenovac and Gradiška Stara,
it's Max's butchers' house.
Trucks rush through Imotski,
they drive the blacks of Jure Francetić.
In Čapljina, there was a slaughterhouse,
many Serbs Neretva carried.
Oh Neretvo flows down the side,
carries Serbs to the blue Adriatic.
Who can imagine last year,
that Christmas will be celebrated by the partisans.
Who is the river, what the fuck?
that the Black Legion does not return."
As Index.hr stated, the police patrol was 100 meters away or less and there was no reaction to all this.
