Marko Arnautović, the Austrian national team player of Serbian origin, apologized for swearing at a player from North Macedonia, after the goal he scored yesterday in the European Championship match.
After the goal, Arnautović turned to Ezgjan Alioski and cursed him in Serbian.
"I... I'm a Shiptarian mother," could be read from his lips.
The Austrian representative sent an apology today.
"I want to apologize to my friends, especially from North Macedonia and Albania, for the hard words spoken under emotion. I AM NOT RACIST, I have friends in almost all countries and I respect diversity," Arnautović said.
He previously emphasized that he does not hate anyone.
"I'm a Serb, but I don't hate Bosnia, Croatia or any other Slavic country. I understand that people in the Balkans still think we're at war, but for me war no longer exists. I wish everyone the best and I don't want to talk about war", Arnautović said in 2018 before the duel with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
