    More or less yeah. Not as bad yet as in the Baltics or Ukraine, but almost all former socialist countries in Europe do this to some degree, including but not limited to Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Poland. The one notable exception where the glorification of Nazi collaborators is still mostly not happening is Serbia, though there were some attempts in the 90s. The reason why this happens is pretty obvious, when socialism was defeated it was a victory for the forces of reaction, and with fascists being historically the most ideologically committed anti-communists these countries’ nationalists started rehabilitating some of the worst Nazi scum by constructing revisionist historical myths around them.
