The Anarcho-Syndicalism Initiative (ASI) is currently one of the more active anarchist groups operating in Serbia. They are known as the Union Confederation Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative section that forms part of the International Workers Association4unreliable source? and they have committees in many Serbian towns and cities, including Kragujevac, Kula, Cervenka, and Vrsac.3 They spread their ideology through the magazine Direct Action (Direktna Akcija), which is distributed through various channels to workers instead of being sold on newsstands, and in which they publish pieces against the state, authoritarian control, and capitalism
The group is believed to consist of approximately 1,000 anarchists, many of whom are students and workers. On September 3, 2009, six members of the Anarcho-Syndicalism Initiative (Tadej Kurepa, Ratibor Trivunac, Sanja Dojkic, Ivan Vulovic, Nikola Mitrovic, and Ivana Savic) were arrested and charged with international terrorism after they were involved in a Molotov attack on the Greek embassy in Belgrade. It has been claimed that this attack was carried out in solidarity with anti-police protestors who received unjust treatment at the hands of Greek police and prosecutors. The charge carried the possibility of 3–15 years imprisonment and the six were imprisoned for a total of five months
