Serbian opposition leader Sergej Trifunovic apologized on Tuesday to Belgrade's Jewish community and denied having embraced supporters of a Nazi collaborator in the murder of thousands of Serbian Jews during World War II, AFP reported.

Earlier, Belgrade's Jewish community denounced comments from Trifunovic after he told local media that the opposition should unite supporters from across the spectrum, saying it is "totally irrelevant" whether people "keep at home a picture of... Dimitrije Ljotic or (Josip) Broz Tito."
