A Red Star Belgrade basketball fan was stabbed to death in Istanbul on Friday during a fans clash with Galatasaray at the Euroleague match.
The 25-year-old victim, identitifed as Marko Ivkovic, was stabbed in the heart during a fight between Red Star and Galatasaray supporters, the official Anatolia news agency said.
The trouble erupted in front of the stadium where the match was played, the Serbian consul in Istanbul Zoran Markovic told Serbian state-run Tanjug news agency.
Turkish doctors battled for five hours to save 25-year-old Ivkovic, but he eventually died due to massive bleeding, Markovic added.
According to Tanjug, Galatasaray fans attacked some 400 Red Star supporters who could not enter the hall as they were prevented from buying tickets.
Serbia Minister Aleksandar Vucic demanded that the perpetrator be urgently "found, arrested and most severely punished."
Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu Davutoglu voiced regret over the killing of Ivkovic and pledged that Turkish authorities would do everything to find the perpetrator.
