"Our goal was not to beat up fans but to stop the violence and calm the situation, to separate and locate the hooligans," Gendarmerie Commander General Borivoje Tesic told Tanjug in the wake of the incident yesterday. Tesic said his men could have intervened much quicker and much more brutally, but that they followed orders they were given at the time, adding this was a "good outcome".
