In an interview with the Vecernji List, he swore that: “While I’m a president of the Croatian Football Federation, there will be no homosexuals playing in the national team.”

Needless to say, gay and lesbian groups in Croatia are displeased with Markovic’s statements, and have informed the Croatian media that on top of reporting Vlatko Markovic to the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations), they plan to sue him for discrimination.
