— I heard about the decision of the federation. The leaders know my position. They called and asked what I thought about the possible holding of the game. I said what I think, and then I was surprised by another decision. Bad decision! I have no words. When a team starts to play well, something always goes wrong. The Federation knows my position. I’ll just say it’s not good,” Pjanic said. sportske.ba.
