FIFA investigates Albanians for eagle, on the other side posts Serbian nationalist photo

FIFA has opened disciplinary procedure for Gerdan Shaqiri and Granit Jaka, as the two Albanian players have celebrated, making the eagle behind the goals towards Serbia in the second round of the World Cup Group E.

This FIFA decision has shocked all, as celebrating Albanian players has nothing to do with political provocation against Serbs, but it was only emotional response of players

But FIFA appears to have forgotten what it did just before the world championship began. The International Football Federation had posted a photo of Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic on June 12th on the official Facebook page. In that picture, the player is seen raising three fingers by this action, which is completely political and anti-Albanian.

But what does raising three fingers mean?

The first popular use of the three-point greeting was in 1988, when Serbs used to oppose Albanians, Croats and Slovenians. The three-finger gesture is an exclusive Serbian symbol, which in recent years has taken on strong nationalist overtones after being used en masse by Serb paramilitary forces in war.

Today, the greeting is used by members and supporters of almost all Serbian political parties at their gatherings during election campaigns. It can be seen in all types of street demonstrations and celebrations. The greeting has often been used by fans and players when celebrating their victories.
