Crvena Zvezda and UEFA
28 August 2026
UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Crvena Zvezda after supporters displayed banners glorifying convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic during their Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen. The Serbian club also posted images of the banners on its official social channels.
UEFA listed three alleged offences, including racist or discriminatory behaviour, transmitting a message unfit for a sporting event and improper team conduct. The Srebrenica Memorial Center also contacted UEFA, arguing the club’s own publication made the issue institutional rather than purely supporter behaviour.
