Ghana's Serbian coach alleges Serbian intimidation

Ghana's Serbian coach has alleged that the demolition of his house by Serbian authorities is part of intimidation campaign by Serbia ahead of the World Cup clash between the two countries.

Rajevac, a Serbian, is due to lead Ghana out to the 2010 World Cup where their opening game will be against Serbia.

Media reports in Ghana say he has been receiving threatening phone calls to quit since the Black Stars reached the Final of the African Nations Cup in January and now Rajevac is linking the demolition of his mansion to his Ghana job.

The building, in the tourist town of Zlatibor was demolished because town authorities say he didn't have the proper permits to build the house.

The Ghana coach disagrees and is now vowing legal action. "This is a very suspicious move and it is clearly an attempt to stop me from leading the Black Stars to the World Cup," Rajevac reportedly told Ghana soccernet.

"This house has been here for many years and I have all the documents. It is curious that a few weeks to the World Cup they decide to destroy the house.

I have no option than to go to the courts, ask Fifa to look into the matter and also ask the Ghana government to intervene and seek protection for me at governmental levels."
