Serbia is hindered by the Kosovo flag at the UEFA Congress
At the UEFA Congress taking place in Belgrade, Serbia, as expected, the issue of the flag of the Republic of Kosovo has become a topic of discussion, reports KosovaPress.
On Wednesday, the day before the start of the congress, the President of the Kosovo Football Federation was seen in a video shared on social media next to the Kosovo flag which was listed among many flags of other countries.
It is known that Kosovo is a full member of FIFA and UEFA and the presence at this congress with state symbols was the most normal thing possible, it transmits. KosovaPress.
But Kosovo’s symbols have once again been unacceptable to the host country, Serbia. Through an official statement released on its official website, the Football Federation of Serbia announced that it has removed all Kosovo symbols from the UEFA Congress.
“The extraordinary organization was overshadowed by an oversight by the organizers, which a Congress participant tried to exploit for non-football interests. We reacted together, quickly and decisively and with full responsibility we inform the public that at the UEFA Congress today in Belgrade there are no flags or flags of the so-called “UEFA”. Kosovo. We apologize to each of our citizens and every member of our people, especially our people in Kosovo and Metohija, who were upset and hurt by the organizer’s omission, which was immediately corrected by our reaction,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, neither the Football Federation of Kosovo nor UEFA has yet reacted to this situation.
