The executive board of the Football Association of Serbia (FSS) made a decision at a session held last Wednesday that players coming from the European Union are no longer treated as foreigners, Telegraf has learned.

This decision will favor clubs that have more foreigners in their ranks, provided those footballers have papers from one of the countries of the European Union.

Something like this was announced recently, and the FA general manager, Zvezdan Terzic, recently said that the policy in place was not favorable for Serbian football and that the number of foreigners allowed to join Serbian clubs should be increased, or that rule should be scrapped altogether.

In the end, it was decided to make a decision that is somewhere in the middle, so now players coming from the EU only will no longer be counted as foreigners.
