UEFA has sent home a referee from the U-19 European Championship after the Bosnia-Herzegovina Football Federation opened disciplinary proceedings against him.<\/p>\n

UEFA says it learned Wednesday of charges against Emir Aleckovic, and “therefore decided immediately to send the referee home.” Bosnian media reported that Aleckovic is accused of inappropriate behavior.<\/p>\n

UEFA says the case relates to “alleged wrongdoings in Bosnia-Herzegovina” and doesn’t involve the U-19 tournament being played in Lithuania.<\/p>\n

The Bosnian Federation said in a statement it suspended Aleckovic during its investigation.<\/p>\n

Aleckovic, who is 33, was promoted to FIFA’s list of international referees in 2010. He was among six referees at the UEFA tournament and worked a 0-0 draw between France and Georgia on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He refereed a World Cup qualifier last September, when Hungary won 5-0 in Andorra.<\/p>\n
