Michel Platini has written to minister for sport Hugh Robertson to express his dismay at the "disgraceful" scenes that followed England Under 21s' win in Serbia last week.
UEFA are under pressure to come down hard on Serbia after their perceived weak punishments of other associations and clubs. It is also not the first time Serbian supporters have been accused of racism. They were fined £16,000 at the Under-21 European Championships in Holland after their supporters racially abused England's Nedum Onuoha. Horne, who warned last week that England may think twice about playing in the country again, has vowed to help UEFA in any way they can with the investigation. "We have put our case forward," Horne added. "It was very uncomfortable for the people out there so we have written in strong terms to UEFA. "We spoke to the match commissioner. He is supporting our view of events so it has all gone through UEFA channels. "We are looking at a hearing on the 22nd or 23rd of November. "We will support that commission with any evidence or support they need. We have to look at it seriously."
