“We strongly condemn the decision of the Federation to play a friendly match against Russia. Sarajevo has been a city besieged by an aggressor for a long time“, she said, referring to the Serbian siege of her city during the Bosnian war (1992-1995).

“It’s not a good decision. When the selection starts to get good results, there is always something wrong“, had lamented one of the stars of the Bosnian team, Miralem Pjanic (107 caps), passed by Lyon, Juventus and Barcelona, who is now playing in the United Arab Emirates championship.
Edin Dzeko then expressed his refusal to take part in the meeting: “I am against holding this game. I am always for peace. (…) My position is very clear and involves not playing this game, while innocent people are suffering.”
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the national team and clubs were suspended from all FIFA and UEFA competitions.
