Police general Mladen Kuribak told the Belgrade daily Press that police had declared war on hooligans and are building a database of those involved in riots at sporting events. “As of May 5th, we have begun registering extreme fans. All those who have thus far answered for misdemeanors and crimes with an element of violence will be placed in that database,” Kuribak said.
