Drone carrying a political message sparks clashes during Serbia’s match with Albania

dronealbaniaA drone controlled by the Albanian prime minister’s brother, led to clashes during Serbia’s match with Albania.

The Prime minister’s brother was later arrested.

In the 40th minute a pro-Albanian drone started hovering over the field.

It was waving a flag showing a map of “Greater Albania,” according to The Guardian.

It should be notted that the two countries have a long history, most notably in Kosovo — a region on the border with a large population of ethnic Albanians that was a part of Serbia before declaring independence 2008.

When the drone appeared, referee Martin Atkinson halted the game.

Serbia defender Stefan Mitrovic grabbed the flag and attempted to yank down the drone with it, all hell broke loose.
