The OSCE Mission in Kosovo was concerned to learn that a humanitarian match between FC Red Star Belgrade and FC Gračanica has been disallowed by the Kosovo Football Federation, Serbian media reported today.
All efforts should be made for sporting events to take place, as well as for them to be free of politically charged, provocative or offensive slogans. The rules of UEFA and other associations are very clear in this regards and should be fully respected,” the OSCE Mission said.
The OSCE Mission urges the respective football federations to re-engage in dialogue and find a modality for planned match to take place, given its humanitarian character and relevance for the local community, Serbian media reported.
