Kosovo Karatists are disappointed as they twice made their way to Serbia, but failed to enter the cause of Serbian policy intervention, Pirscopi reports.
Shame is that Kosovo karate people were barred from entering Serbia even though they had no state symbols at all.
Our athletes will be penalised because they will not be able to score in order to be part of the Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2020 and will not be equal to karateists who will participate in the European Championship to be held in Novi Sad.
Reactions were numerous, while the most severe has been shown by karate player Alvin Karaqi.
Serbia's “Diplomacy wins all, a championship is lost, but it is the last time one is held in Serbia,” has said Alvin Karaqi.
They're going to come to other states and they're going to have to face us and they're paying a lot of money,”.
The actions of the Serbian state have not liked the chairman of the European Olympic Committee, who tried hard to make Kosovo part of this championship.
One thing is certain that Serbia will not be able to organise such events after the shameful actions it committed to Kosovo today. /Periscope/
