(Reuters) - The Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) has been fined a total of 61,000 euros ($67,502) by UEFA for incidents at their Nations League match with Romania last month, European soccer's governing body said on Wednesday.
The match, which ended in a 3-0 defeat for Kosovo, took place on Sept. 6 at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina, Kosovo.
It was interrupted on a number of occasions as fans lit and threw flares, entered the pitch and whistled during the Romanian national anthem, which was played before kickoff.
The FFK was also issued a warning over a violation of obligations regarding media activities.
When the sides last met during a Euro 2024 qualifier in 2023, UEFA sanctioned the Romanian soccer federation (FRF) over pro-Serbia chanting by supporters.
The match in Bucharest was suspended for 50 minutes after some home fans chanted, "Serbia, Serbia" and held up a banner saying 'Kosovo is Serbia'.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008 and has recognition from more than 100 countries, but not from Romania.
