Abstract

“Citius, Altius, Fortius” - "Faster, Higher and Stronger" are values that every
athlete strives for. Audience support should help push those boundaries.
Such a symbiosis between athletes and fans should aim for mutual respect
and tolerance. Unfortunately, instead of being platforms for social interaction
of diversity and promotion of fair play ideals; sporting events become a
source of hatred and violence. It is also strongly expressed in Balkan
countries where social problems in society are reflected in the most extreme
forms of sports fields, through offensive chanting and violent incidents and
erase the distinction between cheering and hate speech.
For that reasons, the purpose of this paper is to analyze how the Balkan
countries cope with these challenges and to address the complementarity of
their legislation, both among themselves and with regard to international law.
Key words: sport, cheering, hate speech, Balkan countries, legislations
