With the history of war between the two Balkan states, tonight’s Euro qualifier between Serbia and Albania was always going to have an edge to it, but no one could have predicted the dramatic turn of events that unfolded.
The match was abandoned after a drone dropped the flag of Greater Albania – encompassing the zones of the Balkans inhabited by ethnic Albanians – onto the pitch, which coincided/resulted in fighting between the opposing sets of players.
It’s now emerged that the stunt was engineered and executed by the underworld of Albanian politics, as Orfi Rama, the brother of the Albanian Prime Minister, has been arrested for being behind it all.
