Belgrade - Uefa President Michael Platini has warned Serbia of possible expulsion from 2012 European Championship qualifying and its clubs being banned from European competitions if fans caused any more crowd trouble.

Serbian President Boris Tadic met Platini on Thursday and was personally informed of the warning.

Uefa awarded Italy a 3-0 win over Serbia after their Euro 2012 qualifier at Genoa in October was stopped in the seventh minute with the score at 0-0 due to Serbian fans rioting.

The fans threw flares and fireworks on the field, burned an Albanian flag and broke barriers, then clashed with police outside the stadium.

Tadic said in a statement he told Platini that authorities are doing everything to prevent any fan trouble. - Sapa-AP
