They've been awarded the win and been docked 3 points. WTF?

So they're going to go ahead with the second leg then?
Good luck with that one ...

If they play in Tirana it will be ugly! Could kick off the 4th Balkan War.

People in power never seem cease to amaze me with their complete stupidity.
I would love to see the rationale behind this decision.

People in power never seem cease to amaze me with their complete stupidity. I would love to see the rationale behind this decision. Politically, my sympathies are with Albania and every other non Serbian former Yugoslav state. But, as said above, both sides were at fault at the game and both sides have suffered a penalty. For once the authorities have probably come up with a fair judgement. Pity they allowed the two countries to play in the same group though. Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

But both committed different offences But the match was abandoned because of the actions of Serbian players, bench and fans, so surely Albania should have been awarded the walkover not Serbia. The Albanian flag being flown over the ground was a provocative act so they should be punished for that, possibly by docking points or a hefty fine. It's all arse-about-face

But the drone flying the flag was operated by an Albanian inside the ground (apparently). A stupid & deliberate act of provocation. In the full knowledge that it was highly likely to produce this reaction.
So really, they're both as bad as each other.

More Serbian agenda here. Wasn't it you who said Crvena Zvezda should be checked for war criminals among their staff on arriving in the UK?

Without resorting to Google, I'd have no idea what or where Crvena Zvezda is!
