Albania's fight against Kosovo: President Ilir Meta's general case

Ilir Meta's strange report with Kosovo National football

Kosovo defeated it yesterday at the “Stadium, Fadil Vokri” the national Czech Republic, with a score of 2-1, increasing the likelihood of qualifications towards EURO 2012 through the group phase. But, what surprised everyone was the presence of Albanian President Ilir Meta on the steps of the stadium, who even expressed his joy holding the headscarf containing “Kosovo” in hand.

Apparently there is nothing wrong with the president of Albania supporting the National of Kosovo in football. Rather, it is heartwarming to consider historical reports between the two countries. Consider mutual assistance over the past four to five decades.

But evil unfolds naturally when we mention the Albanian president's name. It's Ilir Meta. And, furthermore, when we mention his incident with Albania's former coach, Christian Panucci, for the Kosovo quarrel.

It was May 29, 2018, when Kosovo faced friendly matches with Albania in Zurich, Switzerland. On the Paths of the Stadium LetigRund There were 18 thousand and 700 people, while justice separated Alain Bier from Switzerland.

All right. But in the green field Kosovo crushed Albania as a game and as a result. By the 20th minute, he had marked Arben Zenelli. Then again at 51st minute. And finally, Edon Zegrova on 67 had made the score 3-0. Although almost half an hour of games were left, Kosovo left the score with 3-0. But this terrible loss did not only crush Plicas of Pristina, known for their anti-Kosovo zeal, but also the president of the Republic of Albania, Ilir Meta.

Could Albania lose 3-0 against Kosovo? It was. He had openly rebuked coach Christian Panucci for that lost fight. This had caused great fuss as no one had heard that in a country the president berate the top football national coach. But the problem was Kosovo that fostered clear hatred in the heart of the Albanian president.

Kosovo has repeatedly helped Albania with players over the past two decades. In Euro2016, Albania had travelled with 11 Kosovars in its composition. In addition, Albania fueled anger against Kosovo, even fighting it in taking any new talents that flowed through European countries. He took Eros Grezda and Liridon Latif, who were raised at KF Pristina, as did Ardian Ismajli, captain of the U-21 Kosovo soldiers. But that was not enough. Albania has been blocking Loret Sadik for three years, which would be an extraordinary alternative to our fragility. Sadiku plays for the Turkish elite team Kasimpasa and is a standard part of it. Loret had directly accused the Albanian Federation of preventing him from playing for Kosovo.

In view of all of this, yesterday's presence in the stadium of Ilir Meta, a controversial politician, was either hypocritical or cynical.

We hope that Albania will stop its fight for Kosovo's talents and no longer harbor feelings of anger for the successes it achieves. /Periscope
