NFFK is not enjoying the prosecution's ticket investigation, says it will talk to FIFA and U EFA

As it is known, since Kosovo has begun to hold friendly matches, and even more after accession to the U FIFA EFA, in each match it has had trouble and complaints with the sale of tickets.

Many football lovers complain they are leaving without tickets on the eve of the matches when Kosovo is playing as local at the “Fadil Vokri” stadium in Pristina.

A large part of Kosovo citizens have complained about the way these tickets are sold through the online system “tics.app”, which after a short time have ended up in the black market at staggering prices.

After all these complaints, the state prosecutor has launched investigations into the way these tickets are being sold. This has been confirmed by State Prosecutor Ekrem Lutfiu's spokesman, telling Kosovo that the first information has already been collected and conveyed to the Pristina Constitutional Court to continue with procedures.

Lutfiu: We've started investigating the ticket case.

The state prosecutor, based on news published in the media, has begun collecting information in order to verify the allegations raised about selling tickets to the match conducted by the Kosovo national. All the information we have received, we have sent to the Founding Prosecutor in Pristina, as it is the competence of the Basic Prosecutor in Pristina and there will be ongoing investigative procedures on the matter. At the moment it's only the beginning or the correct one, we've started with information collection, we still don't have anything concrete, but it's a much more important question that the State Prosecutor's initiative to start investigations in view of all the citizens' continuing complaints about not creating the opportunity to equip with tickets”, Lutfi said.

But the Kosovo Football Federation has not accepted any official paperwork from this prosecution. Such a thing for Kosovo Preress and Kosovo Football Federation Secretary General Erroll Salihu says.

He also claims that so far this institution has not accepted any official paperwork. According to him, this intervention of justice organs does not serve Kosovo football at all well, leaves it now, where Kosovo is going through an extremely good form.

Salihu: We don't have any official papers from the State Attorney.

If there are indicators for abuse, it should be based on very important facts. This is intervention and we'll probably talk to FIFA and W. EFA, we've brought this up because I'm briefly explaining the mode of distribution. I don't take care of this, it's the “tics officer”, the other executive committee, the two three people who are taken I'm telling you so, the tickets we gave to a company, the tickets that are for sale, are with the contractor, he's doing online sales, their responsibility is exclusive. We made the decision, the executive committee, not us who sold me three tickets for one person. We have information about 130 thousand people applied for 101,000 tickets. That's what every 13th buys tickets. This is a pride we have so many fans, but on the other hand it's starting to bother us even to nause our lives, because we can't create a tadium of 100 thousand viewers that would be great, so it started to nag our lives at all times and more “, Salihu said at first.

Salihu added that if the prosecution is starting to deal with such a thing, then let it go to the end and clarify the issue of ticket sales.

Salihu: If the prosecution has begun the investigation, let's go to the end.

We're not responsible for getting tickets on the street. This is police business. We have the contractor, he sells as many as they are, and if he mentions it there are 13 people for one ticket, 12 are unhappy... I'm saying one more thing is disturbing. Of course it's fine, let the prosecution come and see if there's abuse of official duty, if anyone from the Federation sold tickets that are zero, then yes. But not only if they want a group of anyone now, the Federation says it doesn't sell us, how many tickets it's misusing, he doesn't realize it's a ticket for 12 people, and it doesn't. I think it's over. It is good that unless he has received investigations, let him go to the end and clear up, but not from the game to the game to go so”, Salihu added.

While Kosovo connoisseur and football analyst Arsim Prepoli said the Kosovo Football Federation cannot be blamed for this problem. According to him, the company that is dealing with the sale of these tickets should well clarify the matter itself.

Prepoll: Can't blame FFK

I think the main responsibility is the sales agency that gets it. They have to ask me what's the problem and why they're selling so fast, or they can't come to the very soccer friendly tickets that are clicking. I'm just left out of a ticket myself because I clicked, but in 11 minutes all those tickets were sold, but it's kind of absurd, but I find it pointless to sell tickets so fast... I hear the prosecution is also dealing with them, so it would be nice to see what and what it is that the public really are angry with”, Prepoli said.

Kosova Preress has attempted to receive an answer during the day even from the chief of online ticket sales system “tics.app”, Ardian Kelmendi, but he did not want to talk about the matter.

According to him, under his contract with the Kosovo Football Federation, he is not allowed to give any particular reports to the media.

Days ago, even Vetevendosje Movement candidate Iron Murati through a post on the social network “Facebook” had reacted by showing two ways in which the prosecution would have found this very easy to resolve.

According to him, all the company that has taken over the ticket sale is a list of <x0timetamp” for all persons who have managed to buy tickets and account mirror “Merchant account”, of the company.

Both say it would prove true that the tickets are being sold for a short time or there is some irregularities in selling these tickets.

It remains to be seen how it will be continued with the sale of tickets in the future, and especially for the match Kosovo holds against England at home, where it is expected to be extremely difficult to secure a ticket. /L. Gashi/
