The most important thing is not to link relations among fans with inter-state relations or ethnic groups, because the fan world is a separate one and relations could only suffer if we allowed this spillover, said Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani on Saturday.
Osmani was quizzed at a press conference on the incidents related to the recent Shkupi-Levski football match in Skopje.
“Such incidents involving various ethnic groups and communities often took place in the past here, and I have always said that conclusions cannot be made regarding community relations on the grounds of fans’ behavior. The fan world is a separate one and these events should never be put in the context of political relations within or between countries,” said the Foreign Minister.
