The Swiss daily “Blic” has today dedicated an article to Kosovo's conflict with other states, as a reason that Edon Zegrova failed to provide visas for the match against Krasnodar.
Below, you have the complete article of Black:
Because Edon Zegrov is Kosovo, he would have to travel to Serbia to obtain a visa for Russia. Basel flies to Krasnodar for the European League duel on Thursday (March 16.50).
No, no one at Basel cheered when the lot came across the Krasdora. Unsavory opponent, long journey. Basel's team will cover more than 6,000 kilometers in total. On Wednesday, 7:00 a.m., the club plane was launched, and four hours later the team landed in southern Russia.
A plane for the fifth match in the League of Europe lacked footballer: Edon Zegrova. Because this is a Kosovo citizen and the Russians do not recognise Kosovo as a special nation, Zegrov would have to fly to Serbia to apply for visas. Basel decided against it, 20-year-old remains at home”, writes Blick.
Problems when Kosovo qualifies in Euro 2020
“Fotball and politics? Although they do not belong together in theory, they cannot be divided. Zegrov's visa problems are just the tip of the iceberg, as if Kosovo through the League of Nations manages to qualify in Euro 2020, the next troubles are inevitable”.
“With Spain (Bilbao), Russia (Sun Petersburg), Romania (Bucharestin) and Azerbaijan (Baku), the four host countries do not recognise Kosovo. While Azerbaijan has already accepted Kosovo into the League of Nations and Romania to qualify the European Championships in basketball, Spain, due to its conflict in Catalonia, and Russia's traditional Serbian defence power, has no consideration when it comes to the autonomy of Kosovars”, the Swiss medium writes.
On March 26th, the semi-final meeting of the League of Nations in northern Macedonia is played. If Kosovars win, Zegrova and Co. They need another victory (against Belarus or Georgia) to participate in the European Championship.
Bets that Wafa does not hope for such a scenario? ”, concludes the Swiss daily's article about the problems Kosovo sports have because of politics. /Lajmi.net
