A new occupation was born in Serbia: stabbing and intimidating fans at national team matches, who dare to chant against the government of Aleksandar Vučić from the stands.
After they are clubbers embarrassed Serbia in Latvia because they threatened people at matches who shouted slogans against the government in the country, this business became massive.
Thus, the match between Serbia and England at the Maracana on Tuesday, September 9, in the evening ended shamefully. Not only because of the disastrous score of five to nil for the visitors. Also because of the scenes of beatings and threats to visitors in the west, where traditionally people who are not die-hard fans sit here, often with their families.
What happened
At one point, the entire Maracana erupted with the shout "Whoever doesn't jump is a kid!", and at the most around the 60th minute, when our national team was already at a sad 0:3.
At that signal, the batsmen, who were lined up at the bottom of the stands, jumped up. They started to jump over rows and chairs, to hit people, to threaten. The leader of the group, with a tattoo on his arm, dressed in a black T-shirt, beat everyone in turn and at the end pointed his finger "pssst", reports Sport Club.
People were shocked. Because these were not die-hard fans accustomed to physical confrontations at matches, but only "ordinary" people who came to watch the football team. The children were scared and crying, and the parents didn't know what to do, how to protect them from the horde full of stacked arms and raised fists, which suddenly attacked them all. It can be seen in the footage from the "Rajko Mitić" stadium, as well as in numerous photographs.

The gendarmerie stepped in - to protect the hooligans
The gendarmerie had to react. But not to protect the peaceful visitors, they came to the western stand only when the fans from other places started arriving to protect weak people. The gendarmerie actually stepped in to protect the thugs, indicating that they work for the same boss.
A crowd of people was kicked out, so around 5.000 people welcomed the end of the game at the "Rajko Mitić" stadium. Of that, half of the fans of the England national team.
"Pixie, go away.", was also chanted at the Maracana. It is unclear, however, whether this was a message to the coach of the Serbian national football team because he allowed a truly humiliating defeat. Or people wanted to tell him what they thought about his numerous friendly photos with Aleksandar Vučić, especially if it is known that he directly influenced the appointment of the head of this team.
Shame from Riga
Along with the bad result of the national team in basketball at the European Championship in Latvia, another monstrous plan was discovered - thugs were sent to Riga to threaten people who shout "pump" at matches, which "Vreme" wrote about for days.
First is former representative Vladimir Štimac spoke about the threats of the SNS beaters in Riga to the people who were pumping. Then from the movement "Kreni-premeni" they said that they know for sure that they are security guards Vlade Mandic sent to the championship to prevent people from speaking against the government in Serbia. Allegedly, 150 of them were sent.
A few days later, doctoral student Bogdan Raonic confirmed the news about the SNS batsmen at the European Basketball Championship on social networks.
"I was just intercepted by a group of five girls in Riga, in the arena, and threatened to stop shouting pump. If something happens to me, you know who it's from," he wrote on X.
The dubious guys who threatened the Serbian fans in Riga seem to have changed their tactics in the match against Turkey, so they tried to prevent and override the "pumping" from the stands. "Vreme" learns that the security of the Arena is had to move the families of the national team members to other places.
On Sunday during Dnevnik, in front of the RTS building because they were not allowed in front of the cameras, the actors sent a message to Diana Hrka. Before that, they greeted her from the theater stages in Atelier 212, Leskovac...
On November 1, Milan Vukašinović from Leposavic was seriously wounded in the vicinity of the village of Jelakce. He is in the KBC Nis, where his kidney was removed, a source from this KBC confirmed for "Vreme". What does the public know so far?
The people of Novi Sad blocked the bus station in Novi Sad as a sign of support for the transporter Milomir Jaćimović. His son Milan will be on hunger strike together with his father from Monday
The mayor of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapić, threatens Dragan Đilas that he will find him when he least expects it, claims the president of the SSP in a post on social networks.
The Dean's College of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Belgrade called on students to attend classes regularly, after part of them declared a total blockade of that higher education institution at the plenum.
Aleksandar Vučić is carrying out an unannounced coup d'état. It's for nothing. He has no defense against the demand for justice. Because how can he look into the eyes of a mother who is on hunger strike, calm the people on the streets and silence the schoolchildren who are shouting on the excursion - "Pump!"
Aleksandar Vučić thinks he is traveling to Brussels on Tuesday as the President of the Republic of Serbia, but he is actually leaving as the President of Ćaciland. That's what he reduced himself to, only he's still not aware of it
A huge commemoration was held in Novi Sad for the victims of the carport, touching and necessary. The fixation on the exact number of people is completely missed because this is not that game anymore
