The game is treated as a high risk one, which is why visiting fans are prohibited from entering the stadium.

Red Star supporters nevertheless showed up and took a walk through the streets of Milan in a procession, which only heated up the atmosphere, so this morning the police reacted and raided a hotel where Serbian journalists are staying, says a Telegraf reporter.

This big scandal happened around 6 o'clock in the morning when members of the Italian police literally burst into the hotel and immediately started asking those present questions.

"Who are you, what are you, what are you doing here, are there any more Serbs," they shouted at Serbian journalists.

They then checked the passports and credentials of the media workers and left after a few minutes. It is interesting that they checked mostly younger people, which may be an indication that they were looking for Red Star's most ardent fans, known as Delije.

The leader of Delije yesterday gave a speech to the Red Star footballers, in front of the hotel.
