Police suspect brother of Albanian PM controlled drone

BELGRADE -- A small craft that carried a provocative map depicting Greater Albania, which caused a major incident and abandonment of a UEFA qualifier, was found in Pančevo.

The football game was played on Tuesday evening in Belgrade between Serbia and Albania.

The person in whose possession the drone was found has been detained and is currently questioned by the police, the daily Kurir reporter.

Head of the police directorate in Belgrade Miladin Despotović told the daily Blic that the cloth on which the map of Greater Albania - that included Albania in its legal borders, as well as parts of Serbia, Greece, Macedonia, and Montenegro - was carried from the pitch by a member of the Albanian football team.

It was later found in the possession of the match delegate, he explained.

Despotović also confirmed that it is suspected the brother of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, Olsi Rama, was the person who controlled the drone on Tuesday night.
