Worsening relations between Serbia and Kosovo are affecting more and more sporting events, preventing matches that took place without problems in the past.

After the Kosovo Football Federation banned a matched between the Serbian club Red Star and Gracanica, in central Kosovo, Serbian right-wingers have announced they will block roads in the Serbian city of Novi Sad if Kosovo karate players take part there in the upcoming European championship. The Football Federation of Kosovo rejected a request by Red Star to play a humanitarian match in the mainly ethnic Serbian town of Gracanica on May 9, the head of the Federation, Fadil Vokrri, told the media on Monday.
