Kosovo Je Srbija scandal during Romania - Province of Kosovo match in Bucharest in EURO 2024 Qualifiers
Romania - Kosovo Province 2-0 was a strange game, as it was disputed between Romania and a territory it doesn’t recognize. Romania is one of the countries that doesn’t have relations with the former Serbian province. Other European countries which don’t recognize the province as a state are Spain, Cyprus, Slovakia, and Greece.
This is why, expressing the Romanian Government's views, the Romanian fans chanted "Kosovo Je Srbija" and "Basarabia e Romania."
Serbia and Romania were deprived of their former provinces and made diplomatic efforts to regain them.
During the game, the Romanian supporters from the faction “United under the Romanian Flag” repeatedly shouted “Kosovo je Srbija,” one of the slogans used by the Serbian patriots.
Also, the Romanian fans displayed a large banner saying the same thing. Because of these acts, the game was interrupted in the first half in ’17, and the team from the Serbian province left the field.
The game was suspended for an hour before it began once more. The announcement was that the game was suspended for discriminatory behaviour.
After re-entering the field, the Kosovo players provoked the Romanian supporters, trying to get the game suspended and win a 3-0 decision. Some of their players touched their genital area, pointing towards the Romanian fans.
The game ended 2-0 for Romania thus the province of Kosovo losing chances of qualifying for the EURO 2024.
