The office of the President of the Municipality of Tuzi, Lindon Đeljaj, announced that the Dečić football club has been the target of the most down-to-earth nationalist and chauvinistic attacks for several years.
The reaction from the president's cabinet comes a day after the decision of the FSCG Disciplinary Commission, which fined Budućnost 10.000 euros yesterday, and banned the fans of this club, "Barvars", from going to away games for the next four matches.
In the explanation of the punishment, it is stated that Budućnost was fined five thousand euros, because the "Barbarians" threw pyrotechnic devices on the field and another five thousand euros, because they insulted the opposing players on national and religious grounds during the match of the current champion against Dečić, played on April 9 at "DG arenas".
"Another farce directed by the FSCG Disciplinary Commission. Everyone who was in the stadium that day, as well as the spectators who watched one of the most important matches of the season on television, witnessed another unprovoked outburst of savagery, hatred and chauvinism," it is stated in announcement.
DON'T MISS IT
The office of the President of Tuzi Municipality points out that the Disciplinary Commission with its decisions "showed that it directly encourages this kind of behavior."
"And instead of, after several similar scandals, the FSCG determinedly showing zero tolerance for racism, which is the tendency of UEFA itself through the Say no to racism campaign, the Disciplinary Commission, with its decisions, showed that it directly encourages this kind of behavior, which does not serve honor neither the country nor sports in general."
The municipality of Tuzi will apply to both UEFA and FIFA.
"As the head of the Municipality of Tuzi, which is the founder of FK Dečić, I will initiate a conversation with the Board of Directors of the club and the ruling coalition about the possibility of our club withdrawing from the league, because instead of applause for the correct behavior of our fans and the sportsmanship shown by the players on the field, FK Dečić has been the target of the most base nationalist and chauvinistic attacks for several years now. We will appeal to UEFA and FIFA with a proposal to suspend and take the necessary measures against FSCG for supporting racism and chauvinism, hatred on a national basis against Albanians, which is continuously manifested and which FSCG does not punish in accordance with the disciplinary regulations," the statement concluded.
