Agim Elshani,

UEFA did not even recognize Gibraltar. Because of Spain. So why recognize the illegal (!) association of Kosovo?

Joining as a regional team (like Scotland) is no problem.
For me SERBIAN PROVINCE OF KOSOVO can join UEFA now. If Serbia agrees ofcourse!

Sorry b92 , but I have to try again.
I have no clue why would you edit the truth and the truth is ; Kosova Handball Federation was recognozed Internationally and accepted as a member what makes you think that Kosova Football Federation will not be recognozed?

Well....Serbia has offered Kosovo to represent itself in all the international organisation but UN. What is this now??? Besides, FFS is only giving its best shot, since Kosovo is represented in many sport institutions (Handball, Boxing... and a few other i cant recall).
Why doesn't FFS invite Kosovo teams to play with the serbian teams???

Cvele , sorry to burst your bubble but how can you put Slovenia in the same bunch with Russia and India. Slovenia is the most pro Independence.

This is stupid. Kosovo is a Serbian province. We all know that.

To EA:

I took a break from this forum as I was sick of this nationalism here.
Seems to me you haven't be cured yet.
Please accept Kosovo is Serbian province.

Miralem Sulejmani who plays for Serbia is a Gorani by the way, in case any of you don't know a slav not an Albanian. Gorani's often have Albanian sounding names.

It makes me very happy that you never can mention any of the really strong states, like US, UK, Germany , ans so further. :)

Sports and Politics shouldnt cross its ways, why is Serbia so affraid if we play against other nations, why doesnt Serbia recruit Kosovar players who many of them play for the major leauges in Europe. Most propably scared...

My too sense. . .

Some poster wrote (you know who you are):

"United State of Kosova"

That's by far one of the silliest comments that I've read on this site!

To be 'united' implies the integration of two or more parties. With what will this imaginery state of Kosova form a union? Albania? Shouldn't it then be the "United StateS of Albania"?

Doesn't that make a little more sense? Then you can go around and try to steal land from other neighboring countries.

So should FIFA expel aslo Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland etc.

I thought this was one of the things the Serbs could throw hoping for a "less-than-autonomy" status.

I could understand the oposition of political movements, but this is a cultural, sports activity, fitness and joy.

These people have to represent themselves somehow like the rest of the world, have to feel the joy that football brings to every other Balkanian heart.

This is so sad...not only for Albanians, but for the common Serbians that live under this cast of "people". With these actions they break those last "ties", peaceful factors like sports, that can easily re-establish relations between our nations after all this mess is over. This is so sad...

Bill, are you saing that Serbia will allow Kosovar albanians to be part of serbian government, like have having Kosovar Albanian Prime Minister in Serbian government. If you think this, then you are tryly out of your mind. Serbian politician even admited that they don't want albanian to integrate in Serbia.

serbia to decide whether Kosovo should play internationnaly or not.. is ver low, and B92 to publish it is worst.

Serbs have no say over Kosova affairs

Pandeli

pre 16 godina

Kosova doesnt need to have a NATIONAL team. Because Kosova is part of Albania and their national team is the Albanian one. We already have 30% of the albanian football players from Kosova. The captain of the redandblacks of Albania is Lorik Cana, from Gjakova. Other kosovar players of the official albanian team are Arian Beqaj, Armend Dallku, Debatik Curri and Besart Berisha. Kosova is just an our region. So, we are glad Serbia doesnt see them as its part when it comes to football. They are ours. Kosova is ours.

Dino

pre 16 godina

Here is another reason why Kosovo should get its independence. Not only that Serbia doesn't recruit Kosovar players but they are doing everything in their power to stop them play with their own team. Give me a brake; enough is enough.

once again, news that aren´t really important...let them call themselves jus how they wish to call themselves...

If Kosovo are allowed to have their team play international matches, then Republika Srpska and Krajina should also be allowed to have their own teams.

Ohh BEN
FSS may let you play a few friendly games here and there (to try and agrivate Serbs) but they are not stupid to allow u into FIFA OR UEFA. For that you will need our blessing. Otherwise, they will be hearing from all countries that do not recognise ur unilateral indepenence. They most certainly do not want that. This ofcourse goes for UN, and all other international organisations. Lest they want to hear from countries like Russia, China, Indonesia, Serbia, Greece, Romania, Slovenia, Belgium, South Afrifca, and so on and so on.

Dino,
Serbian under 21 team has a player called Miralem Sulejmani from Kosovo. It shows that anyone can play in Serbian team as long as they behave like part of the Serbian national team, NOT Albanian national team. The problem with Kosovo Albanians is that they do not want to play nor be part of Serbian life, culture nor sports. I guarantee you that Serbia would gladly take Albanian alliance and would embrace it. Dont forget Dino Serbia also has a minister in the parliament who is of Croatian decent so please stop with your accusations that Serbs are racist or whatever you want to claim. Let me see a Serb in the Croat parliament, then you might have a reason to open your mouth.

Someone pls explain me what has football to do with independence? As far as I'm concerned, there are half a dozen national teams of non independent entities, N. Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Faroer Isles playing in both World cup and European qualifications, sometimes with excellent results. Does this attutide of the Serb side indicates the realt extension of the "substantial", "large", "largets-in-the-world" autonomy they prospect for Kosovo? Don't mix football and politics, please. Be rational, football is only a game (and a big business).

pre 16 godina

Ohhhh Dear Presidnet of FSS and what about the largest possible autonomy???? we can't play football you will not allow us uffff??? ohh this is so dissaponting...

INDEPENDENCE NOW stop with this

Cvele

pre 16 godina

This is against international rules and if they are allowed to play so should a lot of other teams from unrecognised provinces. Thus this team should be put back into its place. Although just keep our cool and let all these provocations pass. So might as well let that be the breaking of the UN resolution 1244 by US and pristina regime. Then we can officialy blame them for ignoring our sovereignty and basically declaring a war on us. Play it smart.
