 | The Croatian Prince Branimir, 9th century, made important steps in strengthening the relations with Rome.

Open letter to Michel Platini, president of UEFA, from Ante Glibota

|
 | Modern technologies offer a perfect possibility to see the wrong action on a football ground, and to check who is playing sportingly and who is unfair. This would eliminate all possibilities of unfairness suspicion and avoid unjustified results. But you and your organization refuse this solution, to make your occult games and plays, persisting with unfairness and generating false results, as a way to give advantage to your protected nations, your favorite ones. |
