After consultation with the Prosecutor's Office and on its order, criminal complaints will be filed in regular proceedings against 19 persons for the criminal offense of violent behavior at a sports event and public gathering.

Two people have been kept in custody for 48 hours, and misdemeanor complaints were filed against two in regular procedure.

We have learned unofficially that the persons held by the police have prior convictions for violent behavior, and the procedure is conducted by the Higher Public Prosecution.

The incidents started right after a football game kicked off at 6 pm last night, when Partizan fans, nicknamed "Grobari" repeatedly threw torches on the pitch interrupting the match.

When, after several interruptions, the order came to empty the stand, fans clashed with the Gendarmerie.

The outcome was that dozens of Partizan supporters were detained at the stadium itself, which can be seen in the pictures taken by a photojournalist at the scene.
