Serbia: Soccer player banned from national team over anthem Via RFE/RL : Serbia's football federation says new national team coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has kicked player Adem Ljajic off the team for refusing to sing Serbia's national anthem. Ljajic, a member of Serbia's Muslim minority, refused to sing ahead of the May 26 friendly with Spain, which Serbia lost 2-0. Ljajic, who plays for Italian club Fiorentina, said he would not sing the anthem in the future because of "personal reasons." ( source )
