MOSCOW, Sep 26, Pavel Levkovich. Russian referees Sergey Karasev and Sergey Ivanov have still not received fees for their February matches in the Europa League and the Conference League, said a source familiar with the situation. According to the source, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is ready to fulfill its obligations to Russian referees, but cannot do this, so as there is a problem with payments through Russian banks. Karasev should receive 5.5 thousand euros, and Ivanov — three thousand euros. On February 24, Sergey Karasev officiated the match of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League «Napoli» (Italy) — «Barcelona» (Spain). Sergei Ivanov worked as the chief referee at the match «Bodø-Glimt» (Norway) — «Celtic» (Scotland), which took place on February 24 as part of the 1/16 finals of the Conference League.
