The 18-year-old footballer of Albanian descent, Arton Zekaj has not yet decided with which national will play. He was born in Belgrade by two Kosovar parents.
Zekaj was the captain of the Serb age groups. The talented midfielder is part of the French championship and is actively involved with Lille's team.In a media interview in Belgrade, the boy has sent a strong message to Serbia, if Serbia Football Federation does not invites him at the National team he will continue his career with Kosovo's national team.
"It is true that I was the captain of Serbia's age and I was not invited to the last matches. I do not know what to say, I was at the disposal of the selectors, but there was no call.
I do not know what happened. I was contacted by the coach Ilija Stolica and told me that he wanted to try some other players. But even then I did not had any invitation. I had a call from Kosovo, they have asked me to play for them. I will play for those who love me more, I would like to continue with those I started, but if they do not love me I have nothing to do.
I would play for Serbia, I was born and I grew up here, I went through all age groups and of course I would play for them. My parents were born in Kosovo. If I do not have an invitation from Serbia then I will play for Kosovo," he told to Kurir.
