Greece soccer body apologizes to Bosnia for fan’s banner
ATHENS, Greece — Greece soccer officials have apologized to the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina after a fan’s banner referred to the Srebrenica massacre at a World Cup qualifying match.
In a statement Monday, the Greek soccer federation condemned the “unacceptable posting of a banner with fascist content … which it condemns in the most absolute and categorical way.”
A banner with the slogan “Noz, zica, Srebrenica” (“Knife, wire, Srebrenica” in Serbian) was displayed among Greece fans during the teams’ 1-1 draw in Athens on Sunday.
