Because the government declared Wednesday a day of mourning for Serbs killed in Kosovo and Metohija in clashes with the so-called Kosovo police, a decision was made to postpone this big match.

Due to the delicate situation, it was decided that this is not a time play football while the Serb people are experiencing difficult moments.

In a skirmish near Banjska in northern of Kosovo and Metohija, several Serbs were killed, and among them, a Red Star fan, S.N. (31) from Zvecan, to whom his fellow supporters are saying goodbye on social media.

Earlier in the day, information appeared about a potential postponement of the game, and the SuperLiga Association has now made it official.

A new date and time for the game will be announced in a timely manner, in agreement with the clubs and broadcasters.
