Reagon FBK, gives its version

The announcement calls the decision of exclusion from basketball player Dardan Berisha wrong, despite the fact that the latter had a very harsh and insulting response to Albania's player, naturalised American Mike Mohzer.

As Kosovo won this friendly match with the score of 71:63, the post title on the Federation's official website is “Kosovo stronger than Albania”.

In the first match in Tirana, Kosovo's national scored victory over Albania's one by 8 points at 71:63. Kosovo started the 10:0 series, and at the end of the first quarter, it had a 9-point advantage of 23:14, thanks to the effective game, mainly on the trapez, which is especially encouraging.

The second quarter coincided with tense games, and following an incident between Mike Moser and Dardan Berisha, judges expelled Dardan Berisha from the match.

The judges' decision, while wrong, was respected by our team. Kosovo maintained continued supremacy until mid-fourth, when this advantage fell to only one point and twice.

However, five points of Granit Rugova, a three-pointer of Erjon Kastrat and six points of Leonard McCajt in the last few minutes, defeated Kosovo's seemingly light victory and calm finish of the match.

Kosovo tomorrow holds its second match with Albania at 7:00 in the Fetty Borova gym. This will be Kosovo's last friend before the start of the first qualifications for the China 2019 World Cup, where Kosovo is in a group with Macedonia and Estonia”, the FBK report said.
