(4 years ago)The Kosovo Football Federation announces the opinion that during today it has filed a complaint at FIFA for the aggressive action of Serbia's national team, which in the match against Brazil, under the World Cup “Catar 2022”, has continued with the shovinist rhetoric to the Republic of Kosovo. Before this match, in the national stripper [...]
Before this match, a flag has been posted on Serbia's national stripper, where it saw Kosovo's map with the colors of the Serbian flag, with the inscription “no surrender”.
Such chauvinist acts have no place in a sport event, much less within objects where the biggest world football event takes place, so the FFK as an equal member of all other FIFA members requires this institution to take sanctioning measures against actions that incite hate among peoples and are against human values, the Blic Sport newspaper reports.
Football as the world's most popular sport conveys values of unity and, of course, divisions, while this aggressive act does not match such values, so it should also be punished.
While Europe and the world are facing a major crisis as a result of Russia's unprofessed aggression in Ukraine, such a grand competition as the World Championship should be a place for the prevalence of calls for peace, not to be used to incite hatred among peoples.
Kosovo is an independent and democratic state, with maximum respect for human rights and accepted by the most powerful world states, and as such it will continue its journey, regardless of provocations like the latter.
However, it is unacceptable for this act to pass quietly, so we strongly demand that FIFA implement its rules and punish the Serbian Football Federation for this aggressive act and against the values it conveys to football.
