Detained migrants sit on their knees with cuffed hands, at their makeshift camp close to the Serbia-Hungary border, near the city of Subotica, Serbia September 12, 2023. It said that eight smugglers and 119 people have been arrested on charges including human trafficking and illegal possession of weapons and drugs. Many migrants cross borders with the help of elaborate networks of smugglers who are sometimes armed, and shootouts between criminal groups are frequent. Last month three migrants died in a shootout near Serbia's border with Hungary, a route increasingly used by people smugglers for entering the European Union. Belgrade has pledged to align its visa policies with those of the EU to help stem the flow of illegal migrants westward.

Srdjan Obradovic a fost acuzat că a favorizat clar echipa Spartak Subotica, în meciul cu Radnicki Nis într-o partidă disputată în 2018.El a acordat două penalty-uri controversate pentru formația din Subotica. Practic, centralul a indicat punctul cu var deși niciun jucător nu a căzut în careu și nimeni nu a reclamat vreun fault. Mai mult, oaspeții au jucat în 10 de la scorul de 0-0, Milan Pavkov încasând două galbene în două minute.Săptămâna trecută, președintele federației sârbe, Slavisa Kokeza, a demisionat după ce poliția a demarat o investigație în privința legăturilor acestuia cu crima organizată.
