>BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia soccer officials threatened to quit the European Championship after they were offended by fan chants reportedly heard during the Albania-Croatia match.
>The game on Wednesday ended 2-2 in Hamburg.
>Serbia started its second group match against Slovenia on Thursday afternoon in Munich.
>“What happened is scandalous and we will ask UEFA for sanctions, even at the cost of not continuing the competition,” Serbia Football Association general secretary Jovan Surbatovic said.
>“We will request UEFA to punish the federations of both teams. We don’t want to participate in that, but if UEFA doesn’t punish them, we will think about how to proceed.”
>In a separate statement on Thursday, the Serbia FA condemned the “shameful racist behavior” of the Albanian and Croatian fans and said the match should have been suspended as soon as the chants started.
>“Such insulting of a nation with cries that they should be killed has not been seen at sports events for a long time,” the statement added.
>UEFA was yet to react.
>The animosity between Croatian and Albanian fans toward the Serbs, and vice versa, dates to the 1990s wars in the Balkans.
>Serbian fans are notorious for their chants against the Croats and Albanians as well as racist shouts and vocal support of convicted war criminals responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands during the bloody breakup of the former Yugoslavia.
>UEFA fined the Albanian and Serbian federations 10,000 euros ($10,700) each after their first group matches for fans displaying banners with nationalist maps.
>Each federation is responsible for the conduct of its fans, and UEFA charged Serbia and Albania with “transmitting provocative messages not fit for a sports event.”
>Albania fans displayed a banner with a map of their country extending its borders into the territory of neighboring countries. It was shown on Saturday during the 2-1 loss against Italy in Dortmund.
>A Serbia fans banner included the territory of Kosovo, a former Serbian province that declared independence in 2008, and a slogan, “No Surrender,” in the 1-0 loss against England in Gelsenkirchen.
>UEFA has also launched an investigation into claims of monkey chants aimed at England players during the clash.

Go on quit, no one cares about your presence
They can’t fuken chill and have fun for once
Equal measures for equal offenses. If the Serbs were punished for the behavior of their fans, so should the Albanians and Croats.
Its unbelievable almost the entire continent hates serbia, russia and hungary but these countries think they are the victims. 🤡
No worries, Italy and Spain will give us plenty of punishment on Monday.
This is really not complex despite the angry politicized reactions here. Serbia made cruel chants and flags and was punished. Croatia and Albania chanted “kill the Serb” and have not been.
Ignore the countries. If this was “kill the Pole” by Ukraine or Germany it would be a big scandal.
Be consistent, punish these things equally and harshly.
Another day, serbs playing victims.
Don’t ask them to stop chanting about “killing all albanians” or waving russian flags.
Oh no…anyway
don’t care about serbia threats …
Grow a pair you pussies. No German complained over the British “10 Bomber” chants.
As a Croat, I say punish us! The behavior of our fans was moronic. But the Serbian FA is one of the last organizations that should throw temper tantrums. Their fans regularly chant slogans praising war criminal Ratko Mladić; they call for the slaughter of Croats while simultaneously calling Albanians by their derogative name “šiptar” (Ubij Hrvata da šiptar nema brata).
Heck, they even installed a tank near Crvena Zvezda stadium as a mockery to Croats.
Lots of daft comments justifying these chants because of things serbs have chanted in the past it was wrong then and is wrong now Albania and Croatia should be punished for this just like the Serbs were when they chanted awful shit
Serbia gonna quit before they’re booted out the groups in 5 days time.
So what the fuck are Serbians on about? They know those punishments are not issued overnight, but for some reason they expect that in their case they’ll have their whataboutism avenged on the spot?
What the fuck is wrong with that nation that they you think that somehow all of the world is against Serbia? That THIS ONE TIME UEFA will actually let the “Kill the Serbs” slide, even if they regularly punish everyone who do shit like that? This is the victim mentality everyone else talks about, ytheyu just don’t see it. They think they special in some way that everyone wants to bully them or sth, but this is that minority complex speaking. Nobody cares about Serbia, just like nobody cares about most of other countries out there in the world.
Maybe when they, as a nation, actually do something noble worth noticing people will start caring. So far they’re known for genocide, brown-nosing Russia, Djokovic and some NBA players. And their whining. Including whining about whether Tesla was Serbian. This is really the picture they project abroad.
Have them fucking quit the tournament already. But we all know they won’t, because that’s just, again, the attention-seeking whining.
I know what I am talking about, Poles were whining like that for decades as well. Serbs, move the fuck on!
One albanian-kosovar player instigated the crowds to shout “Fuck Macedonians” too.
(Macedonia doesn’t even play)

Funnily enough he plays for Russian club Rubin Kazan.
Side note “Fuck Macedonians” probably is a thanks for Macedonia opening it’s borders and [accepting 250k albanian-kosovar refugees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenkovec_camp) in 1999 crisis.
Serbia is really a miniature version of RuZZia. When they do it, it’s cool. When others do it to them, they cry, whine and complain.
Behavior like that should always be punished, regardless of nationality.
fck srb?
Did they not recently brawl with the English?
Can’t you guys just get drunk and throw shit at the referee like everybody else?
Punish the Croats & Albanians for their chants, punish the Serbs for their Russian support🤷🏻♂️
Well with this draw, they are pretty much out of the competition
Servs chant kill Albanians any chance they get. Fuck them they can go fuck off.
Just like Trump or Vlad – the greatest bullies crying the loudest when others do what they are doing…
I swear this sport attracts the lowest IQ people our world has to offer.

Bosnia-born and bred here, in b4 thread lockup, lol
Serbians fans screaming we love putin not even more than a week ago
JFC. It’s been thirty years. Some of these idiots weren’t even in their mothers bellies when the shit happened. How long will this go on ?
Bunch of Serbian people spend their summers on Albanian or Croatian seaside. The trade is good. Life is mostly good for all of us. We all have our separate countries now. Why bother with this shit.
Leave the fighting and dog whistling to politicians. Given the sums of money they steal that’s the least they can do.
Chanting this is totally wrong but fuck Serbia team, let them play with russia only instead EU
So let them quit? They are supporting russians fascist…
Okay Serbia. But then:
– no Russian flags
– no monkey chants
– no throwing of beers at opponents’ players
What were they chanting tho?
How about fine both 1€?
Why is the accent on Serbia threatening to quit but not on hooligans chanting “kill the Serb” on live broadcast? Do we not have the right to be offended about this, the title wouldnt be worded like this if it was about pretty much any other group of people.
