(8 years ago)Kosovo Olympic Committee Chairman Besim Hasani has said he expects Serbia to be punished by the World and European Federation of karate for blocking Kosovo karate people to participate in the European Championship held this month in Novi Sad.

In KTV's interactive, Hasani has said Serbia's move, which did not allow Kosovars to enter the Serbian state to participate in the European Union, is punishable with any normative act of the World and European Federation.
And besides the punishment, I'm also interested in compensation being made to karate people. They missed out on the European Championship. Turnout for a sport is of great importance. It also matters to the” Olympics, Hasani has indicated.
He has said the Kosovo side has deposited the entire description of the event, and Hasani expects measures to be taken against Serbia.
According to Hasani, Kosovo consistently has the support of the International Olympic Committee and that in many cases agreements are reached that facilitate the participation of Kosovo athletes in activities held in countries that recognise Kosovo.
Hasan has also said that Kosovo expects more athletes participating in the upcoming “Tokio 2020”.
“I hope we have more Olympic athletes. The previous edition had three Olympic rates, but two traveled because the Distria was in the same category as Majlinda, and we were determined to have her participate. Six others were invited. I now expect at least four-five at the Olympic rate. Someone from karate, somebody from boxing three or four from the jungle. 19 athletes are being assisted by scholarships and even by the International Olympic Committee”, he said.
Hasani has said that Kosovo will soon succeed even in collective sports and not only individual ones.
