Serbian recipe for the stands: Vico Zeljković formed BH Hooligans via Šmrk to take on BH Fanaticos!

Behind the newly formed fan group BH Hooligans stands the president of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vico Zeljković, Istraga.ba has learned. The goal, according to information obtained by Istraga from multiple sources among fan groups and security agencies, is to reduce the influence of the fan group BH Fanaticos, which at every match of the BiH national football team chants against the current leadership of the Football Association of BiH headed by Vico Zeljković.

In the formation of the BH Hooligans group, in agreement with Zeljković, a key role was played by caterer and “sports worker” Adis Junuzović, and convicted drug dealer Admir Arnautović, known as Šmrk.

It was Šmrk who stood in front of the BH Hooligans group that officially announced its existence on Saturday evening in front of the Vijećnica.

Zeljković, namely, agreed with Junuzović and Šmrk that BH Hooligans would be promoted to the primary fan group of the BiH national team, whose members would, in accordance with the needs of the Association, also provoke incidents. In this way, Zeljković would also take over the stands.

“It is a principle similar to what happens in Serbia, where criminals, who are under the control of the Football Association and the BIA, impose order in the stands and on the streets,” one source from the BiH security agencies told Istraga.ba.

Through Šmrk, Zeljković also attempted to recruit part of the Horde zla fan group (fans of FK Sarajevo). The link between Šmrk and Zeljković is the owner of the Baoli restaurant, Adis Junuzović, otherwise one of the candidates for a member of the Executive Board of the Football Association of BiH.

The photograph above was taken during the period when Adis Junuzović was in (temporary) conflict with the Minister of Culture and Sports of Sarajevo Canton, Kenan Magoda, who was trying to become a member of the Executive Board of the Football Association of BiH. Besides Šmrk, one of the shadowy figures of the BH Hooligans fan group is Selver Salimović, known as Švrćo. He is a member of the criminal group of Beriz Kabilović from Tuzla, who is connected with several management agencies that mediate in the sale of BiH players.

The BH Hooligans group, as announced, could make its “debut” in the stands as early as November 15 in Zenica, when the BiH national football team will host Romania in the penultimate round of World Cup qualifiers. Due to fear of potential conflicts with this group, BH Fanaticos have ordered their members not to comment on the newly formed fan group, aware that it is a trap set for them by Vico Zeljković.

According to information from Istraga, the BH Hooligans fan group received money to travel to Austria as well, where they are supposed to clash with local fans, but also with BH Fanaticos, whom Zeljković wants to bring under control.
