“Dozens of people have been detained and the criminal investigation is ongoing,” the ministry said on social media.

The authorities did not say exactly how many Polish nationals had been arrested.

At least five fans were also detained in Osijek before the Group A1 match for fighting in which a Polish national was injured.
