The match between Novi Pazar and Partizan in the Serbian championship (1: 4) was stopped after the players of the home team refused to continue the game due to the behavior of the "black and white" fans.

During the halftime, Partizan fans chanted the name of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic, chanting "Knife, wire, Srebrenica", which was transmitted in the second half.

After Ricardo scored the third goal in the 61st minute, the chanting continued, and the players of the home team refused to continue with the game.

The appeals of the Partizan players led by captain Sasha Zdjelar did not bear fruit, the fans of the team from Humska continued their chanting, so the players of Novi Pazar entered the tunnel and repeatedly indicated that they do not intend to return to the field.

There was a break of more than half an hour, which ended with the emptying of the part of the tribune where the Partizan fans were, after which the players of both teams went out on the field again to play the remaining half hour of the league match.
