The crucial game between Belgium and Denmark is scheduled for Wednesday evening. In case of a win or draw of the Red Devils they qualify for the semi-finals of the Nations League. If Denmark wins, they push on. The referee who will lead this match is Slavko Vincic, who has had a remarkable year. He was involved in a criminal case.
Police raided a house in Bijeljina, Bosnia, on Friday, May 29, in an investigation into drug and women trafficking. They found nine women, 26 men and a lot of weapons and cocaine. Vincic was handcuffed, but in the end was not directly involved with the criminal network. He had accepted a lunch invitation from Tijana Maksimovic, who turned out to be the pivotal figure in a prostitution network, and said in Slovenian media that he had “been in the wrong place at the wrong time”. Vincic was ultimately questioned only as a witness, he writes The last news.
The Slovenian has been an international referee since 2010. Last season he whistled the Champions League matches of Genk, at home against Liverpool (1-4), and Club Brugge, at home against Galatasaray (0-0). In a more distant past, he also led Anderlecht once, in December 2015 against Qarabag (2-1). Vincic has never whistled an international match for the Red Devils.
He will be assisted in Leuven on Wednesday by his fellow countrymen Grega Kordez and Andraz Kovacic, both assistant referees, and fourth ref Nejc Kajtazovic.
