In regard to this incident, the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights and Social Dialogue, gave a statement: ”In the Str. 27 March, in Belgrade, in front of the supermarket “Aman”, an unidentified perpetrator wrote anti-Semitic messages and Nazi symbols, by which he expressed his devotion to hate and to the industry of death, established for the purpose of total annihilation of Jewish people.
