BELGRADE (Reuters) - Former European Cup winners Red Star Belgrade and Serbia's other 15 first division clubs resumed training on Monday as the Balkan nation's government eased some of its measures aimed at curbing the coronavirus pandemic.

With the Serbian FA to decide on Wednesday when and in what format the league will resume, Red Star manager Dejan Stankovic, whose team top the standings, said he was delighted to see his players again after nearly two months of quarantine.
