At the Mediterranean karate Championships for Cades, juniors and senators, organised from October 22nd to October 24th in the town of Limasssol of Cyprus, the Kosovo National Party has reported on the race with 40 participants, including technical staff.
But Kosovo's expedition during the trip has been banned at the northern Macedonian border Greece and has not been allowed access to Greece by the authorities of this state, Klankosova writes.
While competitors, including the secretary of the karate federation, were equipped with all documentation, including visas that were taken at the embassy in Belgrade have not been allowed to continue their journey towards Cyprus.
This is not the first time that Kosovo athletes are denied competition in events organised in states that do not recognise Kosovo's independence.
