Slovak news: Slovakia said to have most neo-Nazis in post-communist countries

ACTIVIST Ladislav Ďurkovič, the former leader of the People Against Racism group, claims that Slovakia and the Czech Republic have the highest level of neo-Nazi activity in the former Socialist Bloc. He estimates that there may be as many as 5,000 far-right extremists in the country based on materials presented at a conference in Lithuania in 2002. Police statistics from 2001 suggest a number around 2500. The neo-Nazis are organized into groups with names such as Biela Slovenská Jednota (White Slovak Unity) and SS AG Slovakia.
