“Going to Europe is not correct. We need to turn our eyes to the East, ”the deputy of the Russian Federation about the match Rus

Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Roman Teryushkov spoke on the topic of attempts to organize a friendly match between Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in St. Petersburg.

Recall that the football federations of both countries announced such a meeting in November, but immediately after that, the leading players of the Bosnian team, including its captain Edin Dzeko, refused to participate in this match.

“For me, it was generally a strange decision to negotiate with Bosnia and Herzegovina. We have Serbia, which observes a certain neutrality.

We understand that all football federations that are part of the UEFA structure are engaged in Russophobia. In the place of our officials, I would turn my gaze to the East. Going to Europe, negotiating, paying money for a friendly match is not entirely correct in this situation,” said Teryushkov "SE".
