Maybe they’re out to break some record. I just read that in 36 European games (from the season 89/90) Partizan has been penalized 25 times due to crowd related disturbances.

This is very much a divided city (not by the river, but by an avenue still full of shelled buildings). Hardly anyone from both comunities is crossing that avenue to venture in the other area. Actually, in this case, it was not the Serbs who destructed the bridge, but the Croats who were bombing the Muslim part of town (where the old Ottoman bridge is situated). There is a small museum now besides the bridge which is showing pictures of all the pahse of the destruction of the bridge. This was quite moving. I don't think that the Serbs where (for once) involved there, but I'm not absolutely sure about that. We had the chance to catch a Velez game while there (they were then in the Bosnian division 2, since then they have been promoted). They have to play their home games in a village a few kilometres outside the city of Mostar, in a small stadium, while Zrinjski plays in their (much bigger) pre-war stadium where Velez used to play before the Yugoslavia break-up. As it is located in the Croat part of the town, they can't play there anymore. Last year, my (Belgian) Hearts friends travelled to Bosnia for the Siroki Brijeg vs Hearts game in the CL qualifiers. Siroki Brijeg beeing a Croat club and having no ground fitting UEFA's requirments, they played in Mostar. My friends stayed in the Bosniak part of town, where all the locals told them "I hope you stuff these bastards,etc..." . Last season, the Veez-Zrinjski derby resumed, I wonder how it went...

Which is exactly what happened. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of guys.

It’s obvious what it’s about, the chant, it’s about all the people being killed at Srebrenica, but those people were mostly Bosniak, and they were about to play a Croat side. Once the riots began the Croats started to sing “Ubi Srbe” = Kill the Serbs. The Partizan fans entered the Bijeli Brijeg stadium chanting…

“Nož, žica
Srebrenica”

which means

“A Knife, barbed wire
Srebrenica”

It’s very odd in so many ways. It’s obvious what it’s about, the chant, it’s about all the people being killed at Srebrenica, but those people were mostly Bosniak, and they were about to play a Croat side.
