Changed the reference to the match being abandoned due to fans from both sides. There were (technically not allowed) Albanian fans in the stadium, however, it could be viewed that the Albanian flag was done by Albanian fans. "Incidents" is more neutral

I don't view the drone as a "response". Made it more neutral by just stating that it entered the stadium

The Serbia v Albania match, in the qualifying stage for Euro 2016, was an association football match that took place on 14 October at the Partizan Stadium, in Belgrade, Serbia. The match was abandoned after several on the field incidents. Serbian fans had chanted songs against Albanians and thrown flares on the pitch. A drone quadcopter entered the stadium carrying an irredentist flag of Greater Albania.[1][2]

The Albanian players, during an interruption in play, scuffled with the Serbian player, Stefan Mitrović, who had brought down the flag from the drone, with the aim to take the flag away. In doing so they were assaulted by Serbian fans and had objects thrown at them causing minor injuries to four players.[3]In addition to attacks by Serbian fans, the Albanian side claimed that their players had been attacked by stewards and police, but this claim was later proven to be false.[4] In response, Serbian authorities claimed provocation by the Albanians.[5]

On 24 October UEFA awarded Serbia a walkover against Albania, but docked them three points and ordered them to play their next two homes games behind closed doors. In addition both teams were fined €100,000.[6] Both authorities planned an appeal against UEFA's decision.[7][8]

Background

Serbia and Albania were drawn together at the 2014 Euro 2016 qualifiers. Although Armenia and Azerbaijan were separated in the qualifier to avoid incidents (due to the Nagorno-Karabakh War), Serbia and Albania were not,[9] despite the fact that the two countries have strong political disagreements regarding Kosovo, which culminated during the Kosovo War.[10]

The game between Serbia and Albania, took place place at Partizan Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia, on 14 October 2014, as part of UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group I. The Football Association of Serbia had barred the Albanian fans from attending the game, because of disorder concerns, only allowing them to attend the game on the condition that they did not display any Albanian insignia.[11]

As reported by the Albanian Football association, on the day of the game the Albanian team bus was hit with stones by Serbian fans, and a chunk of concrete was thrown at them while on the field, and "coins, lighters and other objects" were hurled at players during the warm-up.[12]

Before the game started, the Serbian fans chanted "kill the Albanians",[13] and during the playing of the national anthems, the Albanian anthem was nearly drowned out by home fans whistling and shouting.[14]

During the early part of the game Serbian fans burned a NATO flag.[15] Around 15 minutes into the game the first flare was thrown on the pitch. Approximately ten minutes later a Greek flag was raised by the Serbian fans. Ten minutes before half time flares were thrown towards Ansi Agolli as he was about to take a corner kick and a petard exploded.[16] Several objects were thrown at him and at the assistant referee. The match was suspended and Lazović and Kolarov went to calm the Serbian fans whereas Agolli and the assistant referee went away from the stands. After 40 seconds of suspension the match continued, and the stadium announcer asked the fans to not throw objects on the pitch. At around the 40 minute mark, a bottle was thrown at Bekim Balaj and some Serbian fans tried to invade the pitch, leading to brawls between them and security.[17]

In the 42nd minute of the match the referee suspended the game due to Serbian fans launching flares onto the pitch.[18] While the game was suspended, a small remote-controlled quadcopter drone with a flag suspended from it hovered over the stadium. The flag showed the faces of modern Albania's founding fathers Ismail Qemali and Isa Boletini, the word Autochthonous, the Albanian Declaration of Independence date of 28 November 1912, and a map of a notional Greater Albania.[19] Serbia defender Stefan Mitrović pulled down the flag. This prompted a reaction from several Albania players, including the defenders Andi Lila and Taulant Xhaka, who assaulted Mitrović and took the flag from him . Albanian player Bekim Balaj eventually got hold of the flag and started running towards the touch-line. While doing that Balaj was hit with a plastic stool by a Serbian fan, who had entered the pitch, and the Albanian captain Lorik Cana tackled the fan to the ground.[20] A melee involving players, Serbian fans, substitutes, pitch stewards, and staff from both teams then took place and other scuffles broke out. Some Serbian fans, including notorious Serbian hooligan Ivan Bogdanovic, got onto the pitch and attacked the Albanians with chairs, prompting English referee Martin Atkinson to lead the teams off the field. The Albanians were attacked and hit by thrown objects when they retreated into the player tunnel. After a 30 minute delay, the game was finally abandoned at 0-0.[20]

Before the Albanian team left the stadium Serbian police searched the bags of the entire 45 person delegation in an attempt to find the remote for the drone, but had no success.[21][22]

Responsibility for the drone was claimed by the Shvercerat, a fan group of the Macedonian club FK Shkupi, a club operated by Albanians, although there is no proof of this.[22][23]

Reactions

On the return from Belgrade, the national team of Albania was warmly acclaimed by its fans at the Rinas International Airport by a crowd of 5,000.[24] 15,000 people feated in early morning hours at the Mother Theresa Square of Tirana.[25] Festivities also affected the Albania fans of Pristina, Kosovo.[26] as well as in Skopje,[27] Struga,[28] and Kumanovo, Macedonia.[29] In Tetovo, Macedonia, the Albanian fans who celebrated were fined 200 Euros for claxoning too loud by the Macedonian authorities.[29] A few days later the team was awarded by the cities of Tirana, Vlora, Kamëz, and Bajram Curri awards of honor and city recognition for protecting the national symbols.[30]

The Serbian side claimed that this was a staged political provocation from the Albanian side, and accused an Albanian VIP attending the match, Olsi Rama, brother of prime minister Edi Rama, to pilot the drone and searched him for the remote. The accusation was vehemently rejected by Rama himself.[31] The Serbian prime minister's office also stated that Rama was arrested and sent home to Albania, a claim denied by the Albanian government's spokesman. Olsi Rama denied any involvement and said that he had been moved from the VIP box for security reasons and informed the authorities that he held American citizenship before being given a police escort to waiting buses.[32] Later, Igli Tare, former Albania's captain and current SS Lazio sports director, declared that he was with Olsi Rama, and Rama was merely carrying a camera.[33]

On the other hand UEFA President Michel Platini said he was "deeply saddened" by what had happened, adding: "Football is supposed to bring people together and our game should not be mixed with politics of any kind. The scenes in Belgrade last night were inexcusable." FIFA President Sepp Blatter said: "Football should never be used for political messages. I strongly condemn what happened in Belgrade last night."[34]

The Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dačić, has said that the flag incident was a "political provocation", and "The main question for me is how will the European Union and UEFA react, because if someone from Serbia had unveiled a flag of Greater Serbia in Tirana or Pristina it would already be on the agenda of the U.N. Security Council".[10] On October 16 Serbian Interior Minister Nebojša Stefanović said that the police were examining the drone to determine its producer and where it was purchased and that Albania was "not mature enough" to join the European Union because "statements by leaders of the Albanian government demonstrate that they knew such a provocation was being prepared".[35] This prompted the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Serbian envoy and cast further doubt on a visit by Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama to Belgrade on October 22, the first of its kind in almost 70 years. Eventually the visit itself was postponed to November 10, 2014, but Rama is not expected to see the President of Serbia, Nikolic.[36]

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić said that he had warned EU representatives five times ahead of the game, of a possible provocation by the Albanian officials at the game, noting that some of the officials wore scarves of the Kosovo Liberation Army, saying "it was clear that they had come with an unambiguous intention to provoke the hosts".[37]

Edi Rama, prime minister of Albania, in response declared that A normal Serbia might be possible only if the Real Serbia will understand that Greater Albania is their nightmare not our project!. In an interview he also added that the sooner Serbia formally recognizes that Kosovo will never again be its part, the better for Serbia and the region, thus inviting Serbia to recognize Kosovo.[38]

Agim Cana, former footballer, and father of Albania's captain, Lorik Cana declared that the Serbian fans' behavior was racist and fascist.[39]

Incidents as a result of the game

In Serbia

In Serbia, after the match, several bakeries and snack bars owned by ethnic Albanians were set on fire in Sombor and Stara Pazova, and a bomb was used in one case.[40]

In Montenegro

The Albanian embassy in Podgorica, Montenegro was pelted with stones, which broke windows, and a note of protest was sent to the Ambasador of Montenegro in Tirana in regards.[41]

Albanians in Montenegro celebrated in Ulcinj, Plav and Tuzi. Incidents of brawls among Montenegrin Albanians near Podgorica were recorded and four students had checked in the hospital as a result of bruises because of fights among them.[42]

In southern Albania

Within Albania, as soon as the match and the subsequent events in he stadium were over, a group of Albanian nationalists attacked houses, torched cars and smashed storefronts in the Greek-inhabited village of Derviçan, south of Gjirokastër. At the same time the same group launched profanities against local ethnic Greeks and slogans against Serbia and Greece. Their activity was stopped after police intervention.[43][44] The incident trigered diplomatic intervention from Greece with the Greek foreign ministry sending a demarche to the foreign ministry of Albania and demanded the trial of those responsible for the attacks.[45] The Albanian foreign minister stated that "quick and efficient reaction of the state police, identified the responsible people".[43]

In Austria

After the match, about 50 Albanians threw bottles at a Serbian coffeehouse in Vienna. Several cars, including police cars, were damaged.[46]

UEFA ruling

The day after the match, UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against the football associations of both Serbia and Albania.[47] Serbia were charged for the setting off/throwing of fireworks and missiles (Article 16(2b & c) UEFA Disciplinary Regulations), crowd disturbance (Art. 16(2h) DR), field invasion by supporters (Art. 16(2a) DR), insufficient organisation (Art. 16(1) DR) and use of a laser pointer (Art. 16(2d) DR). Albania were charged for refusing to play (Art. 27(1) UEFA Competition Regulations) and the display of an illicit banner (Art. 16(2e) DR).

After the meeting by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on 23 October 2014, UEFA announced the ruling on the following day.[48] The match was declared as forfeited and Albania were deemed to have lost the match 3–0. Serbia were deduced three points, and ordered to play their next two home matches behind closed doors. Both associations were also fined €100,000. These decisions are open to appeal.

Reactions to ruling

Albanian striker Bekim Balaj, who was hit in the head with a stool by a Serbian fan on the pitch put on his Facebook page an ironic comment to Michel Platini and UEFA, saying Sorry Platini for the stool that I almost broke with my head, bravo UEFA.[49]

The Albanian President of the Football Federation, Armando Duka, declared: I am disillusioned because we were claiming a legal verdict from UEFA. I do not understand what precedent this may set when a squad physically beats the opposing players on the pitch. I do not know if there is a greater scandal than this. He declared that Albania will appeal the decision. Cimi Shakohoxha, part of the Albanian Federation, called the decision a travesty. He said It’s a cop out. We are totally committed to banishing racism from football, and this judgment appears to fly in the face of that aim. This is not about the point — it’s about fighting racism.[50]

The Albanian coach, Gianni de Biasi declared to the media that the decision was scandalous, whereas Albania's captain Lorik Cana said that the decision was completely unfair, as the referee never told Albania to go back to the pitch, rather only asked them if they were fit to go back.[51] Kosovo's football association president, Fadil Vokrri, also deemed the decision scandalous.[52] Notable former footballer Sokol Kushta declared that UEFA made an unforgivable mistake with the decision and added that in a brothel there are no good girls, discrediting UEFA.[53]

The Albanian prime Minister, Edi Rama, declared that the decision did not render any justice, however he promised that Albania will welcome Serbia in a renewed Shkodër based Loro Boriçi Stadium, whose capacity will increase to 20,000 spectators and will be ready by 2015.[54]

On October 25, 2014, in Nyon, Switzerland, the Albanian fans staged a protest in front of UEFA's headquarters for the unfair decision.[55] Other protests were held in Tirana, Albania,[56] as well as in Pristina, Kosovo.[57]

Some media were as well critical with UEFA's decision to award Serbia a victory after the violence and racism of its fans.[8]

Albanian showman and celebrity Ardit Gjebrea called for a consumer boycott to Serbian products in the Albanian markets, but to no avail.[58]
