When a soccer ball flies into contact, and with it, abroad there is a soccer stadium in Bosnia and Herzegovina where you sometimes need a passport to retrieve the ball after a bad kick. We are talking about the stadium of the Partizan club from the small town of Kostajnica in Republika Srpska. Its main feature is that the country border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia runs directly through a football field. And not somewhere on the side, but actually along the field of play: about two-thirds of the grass is in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and one-third is already in Croatia. The benches were also placed there. It turns out that while the players are playing at home, their substitutes are watching what is happening from the European Union. During a game, players can cross the country's border dozens of times without noticing it. And if the ball flies beyond the north side line and reaches a nearby grove, it is better to follow it with the passport. The club's management, in an interview with the regional media, stated that the Croatian border guards have not yet demanded documents from the players, although local residents working nearby have already had to deal with checks. However, the club treats the situation with humor. One of Partizan's representatives even suggested holding international games on their field in neutral territory. Try to find a more neutral stadium here, one attacking team from Bosnia, the other defending in Croatia! Club economists went even further. So, one of these experts, a certain Mustafa Bekirovski, advanced the following idea - since a third of the field is in the European Union, it means that, according to football logic, Partizan deserves a place in the Champions League. Balkan football is like that here, even for a normal deletion, international experience may be required. Balkanist.
