Lazio President Claudio Lotito believes his club represents an example of what football could teach the world of politics.
Political tensions were inflamed during a Euro 2016 qualifier between Serbia and Albania after a drone bearing an Albanian flag was flown into the stadium. The match descended into chaos and was abandoned.
The Lazio squad contains both Serbian and Albanian internationals, and Lotito believes this shows the positive message football can promote.

The Lazio squad contains both Serbian and Albanian internationals, and Lotito believes this shows the positive message football can promote.
“The sad events that occurred in the match between Serbia and Albania are obviously a one-off,” the Aquile President has commented today.
“It’s appropriate and correct to point out the very different people that football brings together.
“This is what is happening at Lazio – Cana, Berisha, Basta and Djordjevic represent feeling of brotherhood.
“There are no political differences, on the contrary we have a harmonious union of people and countries.
“It’s a further example of what football can teach politics.”
