Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic has stated that violence is a problem of the entire society and that police cannot solve it on their own. Commenting on the statement by UEFA President Michel Platini that the Serbian clubs and its national team will be banned from all European competitions if hooligans continued to stage violent incidents, the minister said that violence was a problem of well-developed countries as well, and underlined that all state structures should be engaged in combating the problem. “Violence problem of entire society” “We don’t need messages from outside to help us realize that violence in sports and in the society in general is the evil that should be rooted out,” he stated. The interior minister pointed out, however, that “the question is whether all state structures want to combat violence in the most serious way.” Dacic said that the responsibility for violence should also be laid on politicians and other public officials, while those who commit violence were often just marionettes. “Police cannot substitute politics. Everybody remembers that something should be done when an incident happens,” he stressed. “Police are ready to fulfill their part of the work and they will continue to fight violence and extremism,” Dacic said. Platini warned yesterday that Serbian teams could be banned from European competitions if the authorities did not prevent hooligans from committing violence. Ivica Dacic (FoNet, file)
