Kosovo flag on the drone: chaos during the football match Serbia Albania

From the sky a flag of Albania. Brawl in the field. Tension in Belgrade

Voltage to the stars. And then a "pitched battle" to upset Belgrade. The game Serbia-Albania, qualifier Group I at the European Cup in 2016, was suspended to 41 'of the first half for serious incidents on and off the pitch.


























The interruption of the match took place on 0-0, and after waiting for over 50 minutes, the speaker of the Partizan stadium has officially announced that the game would not be resumed for security reasons. 

Considered to be at high risk on the eve, so much so that he had been prohibited the arrival of the Albanian fans, the game has taken the ugly turn that everyone feared when he appeared on the field with a remote-controlled flying object hanging on a flag of Albania and was written "Kosovo free". This has sparked strong protests of the Serbian fans, who began chanting choirs offensive and hostile Albanians, throwing petard and fireworks on the pitch. When the kicker Stefan Mitrovic of Serbia was able to block the drone and take the Albanian flag, they pounced on him two players Albanians waging a struggle. The result was a massive brawl, with the intervention of some fans arrived at the field from the stands: one of them hit him with a chair number 19 Albanian Balaj. 

The English referee Martin Atkinson has decided to suspend the meeting, while departments of riot police took up positions under the bleachers to prevent the situation from degenerating among the fans.

After about an hour the suspension the audience began to slowly drain away leaving the stadium. The whole area surrounding the stadium Partizan has been "reclaimed" with cords of massive agents, the presence of which was also extended to the roads leading to the center of Belgrade. 

On the game Serbia-Albania we are waiting the Uefa to make a decision. It seems that the Albanians in the stadium came in large part from Kosovo, in Serbia a word that evokes strong feelings of national pride. Belgrade does not recognize the independence proclaimed by Pristina February 17, 2008, this thing that has cooled further the already tense relations with Tirana. The population of Kosovo is more than 90% ethnic Albanian. In addition, fears of Serbia for the alleged project of a "Greater Albania", bringing together the Albanian community as well as Albania also Kosovo, Montenegro and Macedonia.

In light of all this, you do not understand why, at the time of the draw of these preliminaries, the Uefa has not moved to prevent these two countries were included in the same group, which the European football body has instead made ​​to weaken other at-risk situations such as those between Spain and Gibraltar and Russia and Ukraine.
