Dear citizens of the Republic of Kosovo!

February 17th is the most important date of our new history.

Today, Kosovo celebrates its 13th anniversary of Independence -- a day as special as so glorious and exciting.

During this 13-year journey, we have made apparent advances in every realm of life, but we still have much to do.

For this great day, our people went through many hardships and sacrifices, so each time on days like this, we should proudly remember all those who contributed and served our homeland for decades.

Sports in the past 13 years has been witnessed as the best ambassador of the state. And football has done much, since the successful performance of our National in all categories, but also the high sports culture and creativity of our Dardan fans have caused our country to be promoted in the best possible way anywhere in the world.

I firmly believe that even this year's achievements in our country will not be missed, not just in sports, but in every other realm.

I hope that as soon as we get past the big challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic and get back to normal life, each of us working on his full-powered profession to strengthen our country.

I also wish for future holidays to be celebrated with new successes.

It's a big day for February 17th.

God bless Kosovo independence,

God bless the people of Kosovo,

With respect,
Agim Ademi, president of NFF
