ENGLAND and Kosovo fans appear to join together to sing "f*** Serbia" in a pub - prompting a furious backlash.

And another video shared online looked to show one fan performing a Nazi salute while singing: "Serbians are b******s, everywhere they go."

The shocking videos are in stark contrast to the "love-in" scenes during England's 4-0 thrashing of Kosovo.

Then, flags bearing the St George's Cross were held up by Kosovo fans as God Save the Queen played before their Euro 2020 qualifier.

And a banner reading "Welcome & Respect" was one of many put up by local FA bosses ahead of the clash at Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina.

Poppies were also on display in a sign of unity with England less than a week after Remembrance Day.

And a poster of Raheem Sterling put up in the city had "welcome brother" written on it following the racist abuse he suffered in Bulgaria.

However, two videos circulating online appeared to show both sets of fans singing sick songs aimed at Serbians.

In one, a set of supporters in a pub chant: "F*** Serbia."

In another, one man apparently performs a Nazi salute as they sing: "Serbians are b******s, everywhere they go."

HYPOCRISY

The clips could open England fans up to accusations of hypocrisy after blasting the recent shameful scenes in Bulgaria - which also featured Nazi salutes and monkey chants aimed at Three Lions players.

The Serbian FA were fined £65,000 in December 2012 after England Under-21 players faced racist chants.

Kosovo fan kindness towards the English inside the ground was a thank you for the United Kingdom's help in the Kosovo War, which began in February 1998.

Britain took part in the aerial bombardment of Yugoslavia before the war ended with Kosovo being liberated in June 1999.

But some social media users were quick to point out England's alleged hypocrisy by chanting the insults.

One said: "Where are the accusations of racism and fascism made by officials now… The FSS (the Serbian Football Association) has to pass this on to Fifa and Uefa."

Another comment read: "Reporting racial chants in Kosovo towards Serbia by English and Kosovo soccer ‘fans’.

"Any reaction regarding this? Or is it OK if Serbia does the same thing or any other country for that matter?"

One user wrote: "The stupidest and biggest idiots are from England!"

While another posted in response to the "f*** Serbia" chant: "F*** England."
