Bojan Raicevic, who is a member of the Serbian Progressive Party and a fan of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, met the player on the street. After introducing himself as a Partizan fan, Raicevic encouraged Punter to say a few words in Serbian while repeating after him.

Although Partizan's president Ostoja Mijailovic is a member of the same party, being a Zvezda supporter took reign, and Raicevic tricked Punter into insulting Mijailovic on video.

The incident unleashed a furious response from Mathias Lessort.

"To record a man acting like you [are] a fan and make him say something in a language that he doesn’t speak! Then make up story behind it when you can clearly see he had no idea what was the meaning! You really a bitch bored asf with no life to do shit like this as a grown man," the Partizan center tweeted.

Punter himself tweeted about the situation as well, explaining it a bit.

"Let’s ALL get this straight that video was about almost 2 years ago trying to get me to disrespect my president of my team in Serbian, knowing that I don't know Serbian just shows dude is a disrespectful grown ass man with no life," Punter wrote. "Me and Ostoja have a great relationship always!"
