In 2007, [[Efraim Zuroff]] reported in the ''[[Jerusalem Post]]'' that during a performance by Marko Perković of the Croatian band [[Thompson (band)|Thompson]] at [[Maksimir Stadium]], there were a large number of Ustaše symbols and fascist salutes among the crowd (which included politicians, government officials and celebrities), helping to create an air of discomfort among Croatia's minorities in the region at the time.<ref name = Zuroff>{{cite news | url = http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1182409638377&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FPrinter | title = Ustasa rock n' roll | work = [[Jerusalem Post]] | date = [[2007-06-25]] | author = [[Efraim Zuroff|Zuroff, Efraim]] | accessdate = 2008-10-21 | archive-date = 2008-12-09 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081209073755/http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1182409638377&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FPrinter | url-status = dead }}</ref>  Zuroff claimed that Perković gained notoriety two years earlier for having performed a modified version of the song, which "expressed nostalgia for those two infamous Croatian concentration camps in which at least 300,000 innocent Serbs, Jews, Gypsies and anti-fascist Croatians were murdered by the Ustashe with nary a Nazi in sight."<ref name = Zuroff/>

Perkovic himself denies writing or even performing the song, stating that he is a musician, not a politician.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.adl.org/marko_perkovic/ | publisher = [[Anti-Defamation League]] | title = Backgrounder: Marko Perkovic and Thompson | accessdate = 2008-10-22 | archive-date = 2008-10-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081029145525/http://www.adl.org/marko_perkovic/ | url-status = dead }}</ref> An organizer for a Thompson tour of [[New York City]] also defended Perkovic, saying he did not write the song nor is a copy available on any of his albums.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1192380666628&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull | title = Croatian singer's alleged Nazi sympathies strike a sour note | first = Michal | last = Lando | work = Jerusalem Post | accessdate = 2008-10-21 | date = [[2007-10-27]] | archive-date = 2008-04-17 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080417205044/http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1192380666628&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull | url-status = dead }}</ref>
