The Srebrenica Memorial Center has called on UEFA to permanently disqualify Red Star from European competitions because of a banner and the glorification of Ratko Mladi\u0107 during and after the match against Viktoria Plze\u0148.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported by the Beta agency, the SMC filed an official complaint with UEFA against Red Star over the events at the Europa League match, as well as over the publication of photographs containing the controversial messages on the club\u2019s official social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 A club that knowingly uses its official communication channels to spread messages glorifying a man convicted by a final judgment of genocide cannot reduce such conduct to the behavior of fans. This is no longer merely a matter of the stands, but of the club\u2019s institutional attitude toward the values on which UEFA bases European football \u2013 the complaint sent to UEFA states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the match in Plze\u0148, Red Star fans displayed a banner reading \u201cGeneral, great glory and thank you,\u201d while chanting Ratko Mladi\u0107\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SMC particularly pointed to Red Star\u2019s posts after the match, when photographs were published on the club\u2019s official profiles in which the controversial banners were clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Instead of distancing itself from such messages, the club made them part of its official communication after the match \u2013 the SMC letter to UEFA states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complaint states that such conduct constitutes grounds for applying provisions of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations concerning \u201cdiscriminatory behavior, insults to human dignity, political and ideological messages inappropriate for sporting events, as well as conduct that brings football and UEFA into disrepute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SMC also recalled an earlier disciplinary proceeding against Red Star, stating that UEFA concluded at the time that \u201cthe glorification of Mladi\u0107 does not merely represent support for an individual, but a message that insults victims on an ethnic and religious basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Srebrenica Memorial Center called on UEFA to urgently initiate disciplinary proceedings, consider the behavior of the fans and the club as a single whole, and treat the publication of the controversial photographs as a particularly aggravating circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
