Serbia are threatening to withdraw from Euro 2024 if UEFA do not punish Croatia and Albania for chants against them.
Jovan Surbatovic, the General Secretary of Serbian Football Association (FSS), has ordered UEFA to take action against the two nations after chants of, ‘Kill, kill, kill the Serb’, were heard during their Group B match on Wednesday.
‘First of all, I want to thank our fans for their support in the match against England and I hope we will beat Slovenia.’ said Surbatovic.
‘What happened is scandalous and we will ask UEFA for sanctions, even if it means not continuing the competition.
‘We are sure that they will be punished, because they have already responded to our appeal to remove the so-called journalist from Albania from the championship. We will demand from UEFA to punish the federations of both selections. We do not want to participate in that, but if UEFA does not punish them, we will think how will we proceed.’
Meanwhile, Serbia’s FA were fined €14,500 (£12,200) after their supporters threw objects onto the pitch during the defeat to England on Sunday.
‘We were punished for isolated cases and our fans behaved much better than the others,’ Surbatovic said.
‘One fan was punished for racist insults and we don’t want it to be attributed to others. We Serbs are gentlemen and we have an open heart, so I appeal to the fans to remain gentlemen.’
