(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAR 30 - "When the Italian anthem begins, I believe everyone should stand and applaud because Italy was the first country to arrive following the Bosnian war." Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko stated this during a press conference in Sarajevo. "Maybe many don't remember or know," Dzeko said, "but Italy was the first to come here to play a friendly in Bosnia in 1996. For that, we are eternally grateful. Then there will undoubtedly be a war for 90 minutes, but after that we will be friends as before. Whatever happens, happens; that is football." (ANSA).
