It can be interesting for people outside the country but we get a bit tired of the situation. "Belgrade-based Nikolic says: "It's not strange that the first gift to a baby is something with the Red Star or Partizan emblem on it. "This derby is a little bit different because Red Star supporters have been focusing on the Champions League. The derby is always a one-off game. I was very happy to defend their colours in the good and bad moments, I always stay with my team. "Jokanovic grew up in Novi Grad, 60 miles from Belgrade, but was a Partizan supporter, and won the 1992-93 league during his three years playing for the club before managing them to domestic doubles in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
"When it comes to Belgrade rivalry, Serbia has two states of mind," Nikolic told BBC Sport.
"The Red Star Stadium - also known as the Marakana - used to hold 100,000 and the Partizan Stadium used to have a 55,000 capacity - but both grounds have been almost halved because of Uefa rules.
"The best moment for Partizan players, supporters, coaches is victory. I won more games than I lost. Even if it happens, is it enough for victory at Partizan's ground? "Rivalry among hardcore fans is so big that you don't need derby day for them to clash. "I watched, played in and coached this game - I cannot be surprised with anything. Sometimes it's impossible to hear what's happening around you. "I played against one of the most important Red Star teams - at the start of the 1990s where they were champions of Europe and world champions," said Jokanovic. It's not natural for English football but this is the emotion.
Before the bloody conflict that saw Yugoslavia fall apart in 1991 to 1995, fans of both major Serbian and Croatian clubs [Dimano Zagreb and Hadjuk Split] started to identify their beloved club with their own republic.
The rivalry is present in a number of different sports but the most intense matches are in According to a 2007 survey, Red Star is the most popular club in Serbia with almost 50% of the population supporting them. Red Star and Partizan have dominated Serbian football since the break-up of Yugoslavia. What we want is more quality and better football, and a little bit more quiet in the crowd, without the violence. I am a Partizan Belgrade supporter. It is the derby that brings a country to a standstill and always creates headlines - sometimes for the wrong reasons.On Sunday, Partizan Belgrade host Red Star in one of European football's most bitter rivalries. "The BBC's World Football Show spoke to Red Star defender Milos Degenek.
"There are many occasions where people in the same family support the different teams." And this only intensifies when you reach the stadium.

"Despite all of this, journalist Nikolic claims "it's a bit calmer nowadays than it used to be". But people will start thinking about Sunday's game. BBC Sport looks at the 'Eternal Derby' with Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic - a former Partizan Belgrade fan, player and manager - Red Star defender Milos Degenek and Darko Nikolic, a journalist for Red Star and Partizan Belgrade's stadiums are only a 12-minute walk apart in the Autokomanda suburb of the capital - but the game is not just the derby of Belgrade, it is the rivalry that unites - and divides - the entire country.
The Eternal derby (Serbian: Вечити дерби / Večiti derbi), also called the Derby of Southeast …
It's a hot derby," said former Watford boss Jokanovic.Nikolic said: "Red Star's enormous emotions must quickly be restored for the 'biggest game of all'. "It's not only the city, the whole country is talking about this game," he told the "Red Star is the most famous team - probably 55 or 60% of people are Red Star supporters. "All others from Serbia - the other five Yugoslav republics had their own giants - were cheering for Red Star. I've heard what it's like so you want to prepare really well for this game. "There is not violence of the magnitude like in 1990s or at the start of the 21st Century any more - mostly because police are more ready than ever, and we have new, pretty harsh laws against those who commit violence at sports events. Everyone wants to win and it's a very difficult game. It's just sport now, and a bit more than it. "I remember this derby from my childhood.
"But, as decades passed, those kind of partitions ceased to exist. "I played in front of 100,000 or 55,000 in our stadium but now, because of Uefa regulations, the capacity is less. I am very happy with my choice. "Jokanovic said: "I cannot find a big relationship with the political situation and the complicated time.
