The President of the Kosovo Handball Federation (FHK), Eugen Saraçini has warned of strict measures for the violence in Vushtrri against the players of Trepça.
The Vushtrri - Trepça match was stopped in the 35th minute after serious incidents on the playing field. On Saturday afternoon, the players of Trepca Mitrovica were severely attacked by the players and fans of Vushtrri.
The fans have entered the playing field and are seen kicking and punching the visiting players in the video recordings. Others have hit them until the Trepça players approached one of the stands during the riot. This was the most serious incident in Kosovar handball in many years.
"Incidents, hooliganism among players and fans, undoubtedly bring a bad shadow to such organizations. But it should not be generalized, so strict measures should be taken against anyone who damages the club, the city, the fans and especially the families of the players both from the country and those who come from other countries to practice handball here. We hope and wish those who were injured to return to the game as soon as possible. The FHK as well as the Kosovar clubs, the club leaders, the real players of this sport, firmly request that such events do not happen again. The efforts must be maximum so that the sports events are truly sports", says Saraçini's reaction.
He called for Vushtrri and Trepça to maintain calm and friendship.
