Five years of Albanian fears in Belgrade

On October 14, 2014, at 21: 27, the Serbia-Albania match, which was played within the qualifications for the France 2016 European Championship, was interrupted.

The break was warned, but you're saying before the beginning: The participation of Albanian National fans in Belgrade had been banned, while Serbian fans in the stadium with whistles and screams prevented the normal intonation of Albanian National Heritage. Under these conditions, heavy and difficult for the Albanian team, the match began.

British actor Martin Atkinson was not easy to separate from the trial that, especially from the players, fans, but Serbian officials found there, was considered a battle of war. Stressed, with visible Albanian superiority, the match continued so far until the 42nd minute.

And in that minute, from the Belgrade sky, above the fans, slowly waved by a threat, in the playing field, the flag came up with a map of ethnic Albanian regions, with portraits of Ismail Kemal and Isa Boletin and inscription “AU TO CHTHONOUS”

All remain surprised and silent, watching the wonder that descended from the heights. Then a Serbian footballer took him into space, without falling to the ground, the Albanian symbols flag and national players ran right behind him, snatching him out of hand.

After that, the ball was replaced “and began physical battles between players of the two teams. Serb spectators, who prey on Albanian players, are dismissed by the audience. An uneven physical confrontation that national players abandon, seeking salvation in their home.

Security members, instead of protecting Albanian players, joined the audience and Serbian players by punching them with fists and chairs until they entered the stadium's home.

Under such conditions, there was no way of continuing the game. Albanian players, having recovered, handed the fallen field flag to U officials EFA and about 3am, returned to Tirana, broadcast Koha.net.

Development of Serbia's interrupted match, Albania then continued on to political tables.

Serbian politicians called us uncivilized, and Edi Rama's initial visit to Belgrade was postponed for more than three weeks, as his brother was accused of giving up fear. And when Edi Rama went to Serbia, at the press conference with Aleksandar Vucinqi, of course they were not forgotten the fears, the match, nor the Kosovo. Batutia and lactonic words were spoken in English and Serbian with cynicism but also with discretion.

And that's where the first “ ” of politics to continue the second sporting part of the game: Disciplinary Commission UEFA decided on October 24th 2014 that the interrupted match is recorded in Serbia's favour until the two nationals were sentenced to 100 thousand euros, Serbia were removed two points and two matches were played without fans.

Following Albania's complaint at the Court of Arbitrazhit Sportiv (CAS) in Lozana on July 10th of this year, the 3 points of the match passed to Albania's side. Meanwhile, “was discovered” and driver's author, Ismail Morina, Ballist, who lived a double life: In the fame of his flag and the suspicion that he would truly be the author of launching and hiding from the Serbian security from which he said he was required to be killed.

So until the eve of the match, which took place on October 8th in Elbasan Arena between Albania and Serbia, when Ismail Morina was imprisoned on charges of illegal possession and possession of forged tickets for the match.

Serbia's meeting Albania concluded with a score of 0: 2 and he left much to be desired, especially for the engagement of players in the field and spectators in the stands. This time again, politics got involved: Edi Rama congratulated the Serbian team's victory, while redheaded fans, along with leadership and players, were “armed with” for the battle in Yerevan.

The miracle occurred in the Armenian capital: Albania concluded the score of 3:0, and Serbia -- now, as National Captain Lorik Cana, the France 2016 European Championship, said, will watch it from television and thus Albania's matches in the race in which it is first.
