The chants of the Romanian supporters sparked the scandal at the National Arena in Bucharest

On September 11, during the football match, Romania had against the province of Kosovo, a territory Romania doesn’t recognize as a country, the Romanian fans started chanting “Kosovo Je Srbija,” which led to the suspension of the game for an hour.

After returning to the field, the players from Kosovo were defeated with 2-0, leaving the stadium while making obscene gestures towards the Romanian fans.

The Romanian fans did nothing else but express the Romanian Government’s official position towards these two international territorial issues. While not recognizing the Serbian province as an independent country, Romania also considers Moldova a Romanian province. It will do whatever diplomatic means to unify both Romanian territories once again, even if not bluntly expressed internationally.

Such incidents show that the Eastern European region still has deep issues to address, and the people in the regions are not satisfied with the status quo regarding territories and autonomies.
