Drone flight causes near-international incident during soccer match
Serbian officials accused Albania of a deliberate political provocation after a drone flew an Albanian nationalist banner over a stadium in Belgrade during a soccer match between the two Balkan rivals, sparking violence between players and fans.
The referee halted and then abandoned the scoreless European Championship qualifying match in the 41st minute Tuesday night when a Serbian player grabbed the banner — which carried a map of Albania enlarged to include chunks of its neighbors — and Albanian players tried to protect it. As the players clashed, Serbian fans then ran onto the field and clashed with Albanian players. (AP)
