The management of the finalist in the basketball playoff, Pelister, stood behind their "Chkembari" fans, who yesterday fought first with the guards and then with the police.

The third match of the final in the domestic championship that was played yesterday in SC "Jane Sandanski" between MZT Skopje and Pelister, was interrupted for ten minutes because the guest fans made an incident, fought with the police.

Today, the management of Pelister issued a statement which we convey to you in full:

Announcement to the public, regarding the incident that happened in the stands during the match between KK MZT - KK PELISTER

Pelister Basketball Club completely stands behind the Chkembari fan group because they were not the cause of the incident at all.

Our fan group was initially attacked by the guards, ie. by the persons in charge in the stands to prevent incidents and not to cause incidents.

We strongly condemn this unprofessional attitude of theirs and we hope that in the future we will not witness such unpleasant events.

On Friday, we invite the Chkembari and the Bitola basketball fans to fill the sports hall Boro Curlevski in large numbers and in a fair sports and basketball atmosphere to be our 6th player in the goal of choosing a champion.

With respect
KK Pelister
