Serbia are demanding that Uefa punish Croatia and Albania after accusing their fans of hateful chanting during their Euro 2024 clash in Hamburg on Wednesday
Jovan Surbatovic, general secretary of the Football Association of Serbia, said a formal complaint had been submitted, claiming that Croatia and Albania fans chanted “Kill, kill, kill the Serb”. He even threatened that Serbia, themselves charged by Uefa for incidents during their defeat by England on Sunday, could withdraw from the tournament.
That charge came after the Kosovo Football Federation complained to European football’s governing body about “Serbian fans displaying political, chauvinistic, and racist messages against Kosovo” during the same game. “We were punished for isolated cases and our fans behaved much better than the others,” Surbatovic said. “One fan was punished for racist insults and we don’t want it to be attributed to others. We Serbs are gentlemen and we have an open heart.”
Serbia fans chanted “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia” in Munich’s Marienplatz on Thursday. Fans had gathered in the city-centre square before their team’s game with Slovenia at the Allianz Arena.
