«we’ll cut off your three fingers» symbol of Serbian nationalism – Corriere.it

PSG fans are moving forward and are already protesting against the possible arrival of Vlahovic from Juventus. Mbapp’s decision not to renew the contract, which expires on June 30, 2024, has started the waltz of the center forwards and the team coached by Luis Enrique seems to have chosen him, that is, the Serbian.

And so a protest banner appeared in the Parco dei Principi. Vlahovic in Paris we cut off your three fingers, it is read. Why all this hostility towards Dusan? The reference to a gesture of exultation, made by Vlahovic himself, called Kuhnen’s salute, and which today is also used by neo-Nazi fringes. in vogue in Serbia for centuries with the meaning of victory, even basketball players have always used it for their celebrations, with the three fingers to represent the Christian trinity (but it was also the gesture of the Chetniks, which became sadly famous during the war in bosnia).

At the base of the protest is a photo of Vlahovic together with Kostic and Mitrovic in which, in addition to making the three-finger gesture, he is wearing a T-shirt with a map of Serbia which also includes Kosovo. In short, once again football mixes with politics with PSG supporters demonstrating that they do not forgive anything. After all, we are talking about a fan base that is famous for challenging champions at the first mistake, such as Donnarumma, Verratti, Neymar and Messi. And Mbapp has yet to reappear, who created havoc with that letter to the club.
