Scores injured in Bosnia clash
Afp, Sarajevo
Twenty-seven policemen and nine fans were injured in clashes of Bosnian and Serbian fans after the UEFA Cup qualifier between Zrinjski and Partizan Belgrade in the southern town of Mostar late Thursday. After the match, that ended with Zrinjski's 6-1 defeat to Serbian Partizan, fans of the two teams started to fight each other outside the stadium, radio reported Friday. Five Serbian and one Bosnian fan had been detained overnight while a policeman and one fan sustained serious injuries, the BH Radio said. Matches between Bosnian Croat and Muslim teams and those from neighbouring Serbia are treated as high risk events, following Bosnia's 1992-95 war that pitted the country's three ethnic groups against each other.
