Ceku: Sports to be priority of Kosovo government

“Situation caused by the vivid virus 19 a year ago has created a bad situation in our country, but also at a global level has caused major difficulties in developing sporting activities and limiting the participation of our athletes both at national and international levels. However, the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports was commended for the work and successes that you achieved despite the restrictions and the situation created by the pandemic based on your commitment and sports organisations that you led by representing our values in the national and international arena. “, Ceku said.

Furthermore, Ceku said the sport would be the priority not only of the ministry he runs, but also of the Government of Kosovo.

“Based on the importance of the Olympic movement, where its values are carried to the Kosovo Olympic Committee together with sports organisations, the ongoing priority will be the support of all athletes, girls and boys who have won Olympic Nome, sports organisations and the Kosovo Olympic Committee, which will represent us at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics held this year and winter ones in Beijing in China in 2022. I hope you'll represent us properly and make every citizen of the Republic of Kosovo proud of your achievements in sports by crowning one of the Olympic medals just as he was adorned with gold medals at the Rio 2016 Olympics, Majlinda Kelmendi. The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports during this mandate will have priority, but not only at the ministry's level of government. ” said Hajrullah Ceku at last.

Unlike the KOK chairmanial elections, there are three candidates -- Besim Hasani, Linda Shala and Ismet Krasniqi.
