On September 3/4 in Belgrade, Serbia, five anarcho-syndicalists belonging to the 'Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative' (ASI), a member of the AIT-IWA (International Workers' Association), were arrested by Serbian police. The five -- Ratibor Trivunac (28), Thaddaeus Kurepa (24), Ivan Vulovic (24), Sanja Djokic (19) and Nikola Mitrovic (29) -- are accused of involvement in the attempted arson of the Greek Embassy in Belgrade on August 25. All deny the charges, and the ASI has issued a statement claiming that this is merely the latest in a series of attempts by Serbian authorities to repress the union and the labour movement in general.
