From The "People Are No Damned Good Department....

Serbia's governing soccer body is begging fans not to fight ahead of Wednesday's domestic cup semifinals:

A 27-year-old man was shot dead by a firearm and a 17-year-old boy seriously wounded on Monday when rivals fans clashed at Futog train station near the northern city of Novi Sad. The clash appeared to have been agreed in advance by Vojvodina Novi Sad and Partizan Belgrade fans who fought in Novi Sad two days earlier ahead of an incident-free league match. Four people were injured and 30 arrested after running battles in the city centre and one was treated for stab wounds.

Yes, sports fans, hooliganism is still alive and well, at least in the Balkans.
