Attachment genius FBA Europe's full letter sent by Executive Director Kamil Novak.

Dear President, Your Honor Arben,

Dear Secretary General Elvira,

On behalf of FIBA Europe, I would like to express my gratitude to your national federation for organizing a (1) FIBA Youth European Challenger 2021 in your country.

Your support and effort in connection with organisation, but especially the full implementation of the Quaddy-19 protocols were the main elements for the development of competitions that for many national federations may have been the first official race for the new generations after the spread of pandemic in 2020. Even though the Cardi-19 pandemic is still present and we can see its negative impact on many aspects of our regular life, the fact that our teams could play the tournament without any major problem testified, that we are slowly, but we are sure to go back to the playing field.

We wish you success with organising your edition of the 2021/22 national championships, and we look forward to seeing your clubs and national Senate teams in the upcoming FIBA races.

With respect,

Kamil Novak

These positive comments from FIBA Europe are a good sign that Kosovo can be a host in the future. /Periscopi/
