Serbia's foreign minister has said a flag incident that halted a Euro 2016 qualifier against Albania was a "political provocation," the BBC reported.

Ivica Dacic said he was waiting to see how the EU and Uefa would react to the event at a stadium in Belgrade.

The match was stopped after 41 minutes when a drone carrying an Albanian flag sparked a brawl.

A brother of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has denied being detained on suspicion of controlling the drone.

Olsi Rama told Albanian TV channel SuperSport that reports of his arrest were untrue after Serbian state TV announced he had been held on suspicion that "he masterminded and executed the incident."

He flew back to Albania after the match in the Serbian capital, which he had reportedly attended as a VIP.

Ordinary Albanian fans had been banned from attending the game between the two Balkan nations, which have a long and bitter history of rivalry.

Edi Rama is due to go to Serbia next week, the first visit by an Albanian leader to Serbia in nearly 70 years.
