Over a thousand criminals are "hiding" in the supporter groups of Red Star, Partizan and Rad football clubs, a Belgrade daily writes. Blic says that this information comes from the Serbian police (MUP), and that prosecutors, judges, but also politicians who sit in the clubs' managing boards, are all aware of this. "Criminals infiltrated supporter groups" Only after this week's death of a French football fan in Belgrade, the state raised its voice against the violence, says the newspaper; now, however, "everyone is trying to shift the blame to the other person". A source from the judiciary told the daily that there is "great influence exerted by football clubs on courts and police when it comes to tolerating hooligans" – something that State Secretary with the Ministry of Justice Slobodan Homen spoke about recently. Several years ago, one of the leaders of the Partizan supporters was brought in, but a minister allegedly made phone calls to police and prosecution. As a result no charges were brought against the man, and he was immediately released from custody. Former chief of the Directorate for the Fight Against Organized Crime Boro Banjac says that no one is willing to publicly admit that ministers and politicians who sit in the clubs' managing boards are backing hooligans and leaders of supporters. "The clubs take them to their games, pay for their accommodation, transport, open up agencies where they employ them. All this is approved by politicians who sit in managing boards. Politicians have influence on courts, on police, and in this way protect them from prosecution when they do something. No one is accountable at the clubs, and when something happens, police take the blame," explains Banjac.

"Upravo je započeo rat sa najopasnijom zemljom"

Američki novinar Taker Karlson izjavio je danas da bi odluka odlazećeg predsednika SAD Džozefa Bajdena da dozvoli Ukrajini da napada ciljeve u dubini Rusije dalekometnim projektilima ATACMS mogla da ugrozi živote samih Amerikanaca.
