Competitions
UEFA expelled Partizan from the 2007–08 UEFA Cup after crowd trouble at their away tie in Mostar interrupted the match for 10 minutes; UEFA blamed travelling Partizan fans. Partizan were allowed to play the return leg pending appeal, but the appeal was rejected, so Zrinjski Mostar qualified. In other play-off matches, Belgrade XI and Red Star Belgrade each progressed to the quarter-finals, while Juventus and Lokomotiv Plovdiv advanced to the second round.
