    Mr. Selimovic, Sarajevo football club manager, unsatisfied with constructive feedback regarding the management’s decision on suspending 5 players, came down on our colleague Faruk Zametica. Director Selimovic claimed clearly:”If you can publically criticize us, we can criticize you as well. Your views added oil to fire to that extent so that it may, God forbid, causes some horrible problems amongst supporters and around the stadium. I do not hold public speeches, this doesn’t concern all of you, but I know who I am addressing this to. Do not wave with your head Faruk”.
