FM: Stadium incident was planned political provocation

"This has never happened on any football game and was prepared in advance. For me, the central question is how will the European Union and UEFA react, because had someone from Serbia unfurled a 'Greater Serbia' flag in Tirana or Priština that would make it to the agenda of the UN Security Council," he told the daily Blic, and added:

"This incident is particularly controversial because of the fact the brother of THE Albanian prime minister, who is supposed to be a guest here, did it. All this puts a political dimension of the whole event and this is a political provocation."

Dačić added that during the day on Tuesday "EU diplomats exerted pressure so that the Albanian fans, whom the Serbian authorities wanted to keep at the airport, are allowed to go to the stadium - even though they had no tickets."

"Serbia does not bear any responsibility for this game's interruption," said Dačić.

The match between Serbia and Albania was abandoned after a scandalous provocation staged by the visiting Albanian fans, who used a remotely guided craft to fly a map showing Greater Albania above the pitch.

The brother Albanian prime minister Olsi Rama was held on suspicion of causing the incident and then released and allowed to leave the country.
