- Serbia threatens to exit Euro 2024 if strict punishment is not imposed on Croatia and Albania.
- The threat arises from alleged 'kill the Serb' chants during the Croatia vs Albania match.
- Tension escalates in the European Championship due to accusations of provocative chants.
Serbia has threatened to withdraw from Euro 2024 if alleged offensive chanting from Albania and Croatia fans goes unpunished. The Serbian Football Association demanded sanctions from UEFA for anti-Serbian songs sung by Croatia and Albania supporters during a match. UEFA fined the Serbian FA for rule violations in their game against England, including displaying a flag with Kosovo within Serbian borders. The tensions stem from historical conflicts in the Balkans, with Albania and Serbia having a troubled relationship over Kosovo. The chanting incidents have sparked outrage in Serbia, with authorities considering withdrawing from the tournament. UEFA also issued charges to the Albania Football Federation for various incidents during their match against Italy. The situation has the potential to impact the tournament and England's campaign, with Serbia's withdrawal potentially affecting the group standings.
