Ekstremi - Controversies

Controversies

Оn 13 August 2012, just before the football match between FK Novi Pazar and Radnički Niš, it came to battles between Torcida Sandžak and the Ekstremi. The main clash occurred at the time when the members of Torcida Sandžak wanted to put a banner on the north stand of the Novi Pazar City Stadium. Their rivals, the Ekstremi, set the banner on fire and than the conflict broke out. A member of the fan group Ekstremi was stabbed with a knife in the chest and suffered serious life-threatening injuries. After the version of the Ekstremi, just before the match, at the entrance to the city park, one member was attacked by rival supporters Torcida Sandžak. They were attacked with knives and other items, but the passersby stop the conflict and the attackers dispersed and went to the stadium. At the entrance of the north stand, an Ekstremi member heard about the attack, wanting to gain more information and went to a group of Torcida Sandžak supporters, which came from the direction of the city park. On that occasion he was attacked and suffered multiple stab wounds, some of them life-threatening. The majority of the fan group Ekstremi was already gathered on the stands and revolted and burned the banner of Torcida Sandžak. However, after six months, on February 12, in 2013, thanks to an intervention by Genç Fenerbahçeliler's leader, the two sides made peace with one another.

In October 2012, the Ekstremi held up the banner “Srce, bubreg, pluća, živela žuta kuća” ("Heart, kidney, lung, long live the Yellow House"), which ridicules the Serb victims in the illegal organ harvesting in Kosovo in 1999, in which killed numerous Kosovo Serbs captives in a yellow house in Albania, allegedly by perpetrators with strong links the Albanian paramilitary organization UÇK, as a provocation to FK Rad, a team from Belgrade from where the supporters were mostly Serbs. The incident garnered shocked reactions from media and government officials both in Serbia and in other countries. Just a few days late followed the next provocation, as the Ekstremi placed on their official Facebook page the Serbian children's song “Na kraj sela žuta kuća” ("At the end of the village a yellow house"). Many have enthusiastically escorted the new work, what was seen by the comments below the video clip, but there were also those who sharply condemned the action.
