President Boris Tadic says that faced with football "folklore and culture", he does not wish to have "preferential treatment" compared to other presidents. His comments came after a top Serbian football league match was interrupted by officials over the weekend when fans took to chanting, "Boris, kill yourself and save Serbia". Tadic "doesn't mind" offensive chants The "kill yourself and save Serbia" chant is a decade old, and first surfaced during the rule of Slobodan Milosevic, to later be directed against Vojislav Kostunica. However, the Smederevo-Rad match was the first ever to be briefly suspended because of the song. "Chanting is part of the supporter folklore and culture, I don't mind that. Let state organs do their job. I do not interfere in the work do the judiciary, or that of the FSS (the Serbian FA)," said Tadic. But the president noted that he "personally never invited anyone to commit suicide", and that he would react if the offensive chant was directed at one of his opponents. Tadic's ruling DS party spokeswoman Jelena Trivan, however, today condemned the incident, and invited everyone in Serbia to follow suit, especially since the the suggestion "came from groups that have ties with organized crime". The calls to lynch presidents, journalists, politicians, said Trivan, are not directed at any one individual, but rather against a democratic regime that hooligans wish to topple.
