But Dukes on Thursday for TIME has said Kosovo does not meet the criteria. It has added that Albania alone does not meet the conditions.
Duke has confirmed the candidacy along with Serbia for the European to be held in 2027.
The first “option has been Kosovo. Since Kosovo does not meet the criteria and we also do not meet the criteria to organise it alone, then we saw the applicants who were Albania, Serbia, Turkey and Belgium. The other two had no interest in joining us, then Serbia alone remained. We have interests, because we organise a major event in Albania and our team automatically qualify in Euro 2027) ”, Duka said of TIME.
In fact, Kosovo currently has no stadium that meets the criteria for international matches. But the state has planned millions of investments to regulate sports infrastructure in the country. Kosovo will be the host of the Mediterranean Games “Pristina 2030”. Under investment, construction and renovation of several stadiums in Kosovo have also been mentioned.
