European football championships | In the streets of Germany, a cry rang out: “Vladimir Putin!”

European football association Uefa has started disciplinary measures against the Serbian football association, says the British broadcasting company BBC.

The reason is the exciting events that happened in connection with the European Championship match between Serbia and England played in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday evening.

Videos of Serbian supporters chanting the Russian president on the street during the match spread on social media Vladimir Putin name.

In addition, Serbian supporters presented Russian flags and maps at the match stadium, where Kosovo was marked as part of Serbia.

Serbians are also said to have thrown objects from the stands onto the field.

Uefa justified the disciplinary measures, among other things, by the fact that the Serbians are suspected of “spreading a provocative message inappropriate for a sporting event”.

Even before UEFA’s decision, the Kosovo Football Association had said that it had filed a complaint with the umbrella organization about the actions of Serbian supporters.

Russian Sport24– sports website published a Serbian journalist on Monday Aleksander Atsan an interview in which he said that the men who chanted Putin’s name were Serbians living in Germany.

According to Atsa, Serbs love Putin and consider him to be Serbia’s best friend and a powerful figure who will return Kosovo to Serbia.

– These people respect Putin as the protector and liberator of all Orthodox people, Atsa said.

in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday, we also saw a fight between Serbian and English supporters. British newspaper of the Guardian approximately 150 people waved their fists, several of whom received bloody wounds on their heads. One police officer was also among the injured.

German authorities say that one Englishman and seven Serbians will face criminal charges for the incident.

The fight started when a group of Englishmen tried to enter a steakhouse, which was already full of Serb supporters.
