The 1998–99 season of the First League of FR Yugoslavia was interrupted by the end of March due to the NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia. After the players had been told by the club officials that they could begin their holidays earlier, since that season was not going to be played any longer, and was declared finished with the standings found in the time of interruption as definitive, some players, and Carabajal among them, refused to leave, as a show of solidarity. That act is highly regarded by the FK Vojvodina club supporters.
