=Incident=

On Friday night, 16 April 2004 around 11pm following the semifinal games, an ethnically motivated incident occurred when Crvena zvezda's director Igor Žeželj and B92 journalist Danijel Bukumirović got assaulted at the Panorama Hotel parking lot by an organized group of fifteen Croatian hooligans armed with chains, rocks and metal poles.[http://www.b92.net/sport/kosarka/vesti.php?yyyy=2004&mm=04&dd=17&nav_id=138434 U Zagrebu napadnut direktor KK Crvena zvezda];B92, 17 April 2011 Bukumirović managed to escape into the car with only minor injuries while Žeželj wasn't as lucky and ended up with a fractured rib and 6 stitches on his forehead. Croatian police reportedly arrested six individuals in connection with the attack that was carried out by a group that trolled around the Final Four venue Dražen Petrović Basketball Hall, as well as hotels Sheraton and Panorama looking to beat up anyone from Serbia.[http://arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs/arhiva/2004/04/19/srpski/S04041807.shtml Udarali su nas štanglama i lancima];Glas javnosti, 19 April 2004
