Four people have been arrested after a group of parents from Belgrade were attacked, with one suffering a minor knife wound, at a youth indoor soccer tournament in Sarajevo. The group were accosted on January 14 by what police said were masked attackers outside the complex. The attackers first tried to grab the group's flag of FK Zvezdara, a lower-league Serbian soccer team, and then pursued the parents as they tried to escape. The organizer of the tournament for children from the ages of 7 to 14 told RFE/RL’s Balkan Service that play would continue despite the incident.
