Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly condemns the attacks on referees Ognjen Valjic, Sreten Udovicic and Senad Ibrisimbegovic that happened after the recent Premier League match between NK Siroki Brijeg and FK Sarajevo.

This unfortunate event, which was an attack on the physical integrity of young people, is not only worrying, but it's also a warning sign that vigorous measures should be taken so that such incidents never happen again.

With this in mind, FFBIH expects the competent safety and security authorities to identify and prosecute the perpetrators as soon as possible, while the relevant FFBIH governing bodies will also take the appropriate actions in determining all the facts and circumstances leading up to the regrettable events after the match in Siroki Brijeg.

FFBIH will persist in an effort to protect the football competition and its officials performing their jobs and duties.
