In letters sent separately to Zoran Milanovic and Ivica Dacic, prime ministers of Croatia and Serbia respectively, Platini also asked for an urgent meeting with European football’s governing body officials over the issue.
“Uefa is extremely concerned by all forms of violence at certain matches played by Croatian clubs in Uefa competitions,” Platini was quoted as saying in the letter to Milanovic, published on the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) official website.
Platini has repeatedly warned Croatia and Serbia that if they do not root out violence among football supporters they risk being excluded from international competitions.
Uefa has fined the federations of two countries on several occasions for violence and racist behaviour of hardcore football fans.
