Kosovo's early European talks on Albania ? Serbia

Spain's Himmin was whistled on Tuesday evening at “Fadil Vokrri”, where about 3,500 viewers were present. Finally Spain U21 won 3:1 from Kosovo U21, in qualifications for the European Championship held in 2027 in Albania and Serbia.

The decision to organise the Europeans from Albania and Serbia is still expected to be problematic for Kosovo. This was made almost clear when the lots withdrew, and Kosovo U21 fell into a group of non-recognition countries that do not recognise the Kosovo state of Romania, Spain and Cyprus.

Kosovo qualifications U21 started on 5 September. In Iasi, Kosovo played goalless with Romania. There have been no reports of any violation or unworthy way of presenting Kosovo.
But the situation changed Tuesday. Spain's Football Federation on the official page and social media profiles wrote that Spain U21 plays against Kosovo “Territor”. A FFK response followed and complaints at UEFA.

The approach of Spain's Football Federation changed, meanwhile. There was no mention on social networks of Kosovo, no territory, no official name. Only the Kosovo flag was presented. Meanwhile, on the official page of the Kosovo term “Territorial” was replaced by “Federate of Kosovo”. So again the Spanish federation has not named Kosovo by the official name. And this violation continues.

The same approach has Spanish television, but not most other Spanish media, writes Time.net, broadcast Periscope.

The Spanish Federation made sure that Kosovo does not even present it in the statements of coach and players after victory 3:1 in Pristina.

Pristina has been written, the Kosovo session, Kosovars, Kosovo federation, but nowhere the official name of the state, Kosovo.

If you don't react to U. The EFA, for its approach, expects more trouble for Kosovo for the match in Spain, which is March 31st 2026. There are two matches with Cyprus, and so are those at home with Romania, as well as with potential for any <x0momali”.

This is not the first time we face such behavior from the Spanish Football Federation, and we consider it completely unacceptable. UEFA stands above values such as unity, respect, and equality among all its members, so these principles should be respected not only in actions but also in words by any member federation. We request from UEFA a clear and immediate response to this issue, as well as a public correction and official admission from the Spanish Football Federation, that its actions were inappropriate and contrary to the basic principles of UEFA. We hope and believe that the Kosovo Football Federation will continue to be treated as an equal member of UEFA, not just by U himself. EFA, but also of all other national federations”, writes in the letter that NFF Chairman Agim Ademi sent to UEFA and the Spanish federation on Tuesday.

In fact, these developments in qualifications have nothing to do with where the European will develop.

But since the beginning it has been known that a common European Albania ? Serbia is never a good idea. Not for Kosovo and Kosovo Albanians.

Even Tuesday evening in Belgrade, Kosovo and Albanians have been offended. Serbia suffered severe shocks, defeating 5:0 from England. Insulting Albanians and tensions will evidently be greater after a month, when Albania plays with Serbia in Belgrade.

Serbia's Serbs have been constantly offended in June when Albania and Serbia first faced qualifications for the 2026 World. That match was played in Tirana.

Of course, Kosovo is the “centre” of these developments. Even if there is no trouble with Spain, potentially with Cyprus and Romania, the European Albania Serbia remains a bad idea. And that will never change. /Periscope/
