Clashes Between Slovak and Croat Soccer/Football Fans and More (Střety mezi Slovenskými a Chorvatskými fotbalovými fanoušky a více)

August 4, 2009

Článek v ČEŠTINĚ dole (Klikněte na “Read the rest …”)

Who would guess that an ordinary soccer (US)/football match in Zilina, Slovakia, would catch our attention? It is probably because it was not that ordinary. Some sources called it the biggest crackdown by security forces in the history of Slovak football. The violent act happened on the last day of July and it involved the local police, but also its residents, neighboring businesses, Foreign Affair Ministers and Slovak tourists vacationing or living in Croatia.

The disturbance took place before the UEFA Europa League third preliminary-round match between home side MSK Zilina and the Croatian team Hajduk Split. The Croat fans were not allowed to enter the stadium because they had been banned from two European away games. They were involved in skirmishes in the town, where they threatened local citizens, attacked police officers and damaged local stores and other businesses on their way to the stadium. First, they tried to reason with the police, but their requests to attend the match were denied. A small fight turned into a massive fight that involved about 650 police officers.

The clash resulted in about 50 injured officers and about 20 seriously injured foreign fans and 30 others with minor injuries. A total of 219 arrested Croatian fans were expelled from the country and were banned from entering the European Union to watch matches for the next five years. Some of the fans claimed that the aggressiveness and violence used by the police during the intervention was inappropriate. The foreign ministers of both countries believe that suitable actions were taken in order to avoid a further disturbance.

The story is does not end here as the Slovak vacationers in Croatia experienced attacks and threats from the locals. The Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Jandrokovic promised that he will do everything he can to make sure that Slovak holiday-makers have a trouble-free stay in Croatia. One of incidents had already resulted in damage to a family car, while other insults could be found on the internet. Croatia is one of the most favorite spots abroad for both, the Czechs and Slovaks. Moreover, Slovaks make up the third largest minority of the Croatian population. We can only hope that this incident will not be a reason to destroy the close ties these two countries have had for many years in the past (since the 16th century). You can also find more about Croatian-Slovak ties in this interesting article HERE.

ITERESTING FACTS ABOUT CZECHS IN CROATIA:
Today, the Czech minority is largest in the region surrounding Daruvar in western Slavonia and in larger cities, like Zagreb, Rijeka, Bjelovar, Virovitica and a few other places, where this flag is used in accordance to the local legislation and the 2002 Contitutional Law:
The flag of the Czechs in Croatia is adopted formally in 2007, it is equal to the Czech national flag (but for the ratio): white over red bicolor with a blue triangle next to the hoist reaching to the middle of the flag, with overall ratio 2:3. The emblem of Czechs in Croatia is a shield with three fields, red, white and blue with red-white checkered base and a silver lion overall. Atop the shield is a yellow ribbon with inscription: “CEŠI V REPUBLICE CHORVATSKO/CESI U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ” (meaning “The Czechs in the Republic of Croatia” in Czech and Croatian language).

Kdo by hádal, že obyčejný fotbalový zápas v Žilině na Slovensku by upoutal naši pozornost? Je to pravděpodobně proto, že byl neobyčejný. Některé zdroje ho nazývají největším zákrokem bezpečnostních sil v dějinách slovenského fotbalu. Násilný akt se stal v poslední den měsíce července a zapojily se do ní místní policie, ale i obyvatelé Žiliny, místní firmy, ministři zahraničních věcí a slovenští turisté, kteří žijí nebo jsou právě na dovolené v Chorvatsku.

K narušení došlo před třetím předběžným zápasem UEFA Europa mezi domácí stranou MŠK Žilina a chorvatským týmem Hajduk Split, protože chorvatským fanouškům nebyl povolen vstup na stadion kvůli jejich chování. Fanoušci se zapojili do potyček ve městě a na jejich cestě na stadion hrozili místním občanům, napadli policisty a poškodili místní obchody a další podniky. Nejprve se snažili smlouvat s policií, ale jejich žádost o účast na zápase byla odepřena a malý boj se pak změnil na masivní zápas, který zahrnul kolem 650 policistů.

Střet měl za následek asi 50 zraněných osob a asi 20 vážně zraněných zahraničních fanoušků a 30 dalších s malými zraněními. 219 chorvatských fanoušků bylo zadrženo a vyhnáno ze země a byl jim zakázán vstup do Evropské unie pro příštích pět let. Někteří z fanoušků tvrdili, že policisté použili nepřiměřenou agresivitu a násilí. Ministři zahraničních věcí obou zemí se domnívají, že byla přijata vhodná opatření k zabránění dalšího narušení.

Příběh zde ale nekončí, protože Slováci, kteří se nacházejí v Chorvatsku na dovolené již prožili útoky a hrozby od místních obyvatel. Chorvatský ministr zahraničních věcí Gordan Jandrokovič slíbil, že udělá všechno pro to, aby zajistil, že Slováci v Chorvatsku měli ničím nerušený pobyt. Jedna z událostí již vedla k poškození rodinného automobilu, zatímco jiní zažili urážky i na internetu. Chorvatsko je jednou z nejoblíbenějších míst v zahraničí, jak pro Čechy, tak pro Slováky. Slováci navíc tvoří třetí největší menšinu chorvatské populace. Můžeme jen doufat, že tato událost nebude důvodem ke zničení úzkých vztahů těchto dvou zemí, která pokračuje již stovky let. ZDE je zajimavy odkaz na informace o slovenské menšině v Chorvatsku a opačně ZDE.
