A banner with a swastika and a slogan "Better a caci (a mocking term referring to students who are not partaking in the blockade of universities) than a Nazi" was found to have been hung on the wall above the main entrance to the Nis Fortress early on June 6.
The controversial banner, the bottom part of which read "We won't give Nis up," was removed just before 10 a.m., the Get Going for Change movement said in a post on social media.
Early this week, a swastika was spray-painted above one of the side exits from the Fortress and on the riverwalk by the Nisava.
Nis Mayor Dragoslav Pavlovic condemned at the time the throwing of eggs and paint at the Serbian Progressive Party office in Nis, as well as the drawing of Nazi symbols.
He said that the appearance of swastikas in a city where 12,000 Serbs, Jews and Roma had been killed, where the notorious Nis concentration camp had been located, was an "anti-civilizational act."
