Duka answers to Ademi: Don't worry when Kosovo Albanians choose Albania, but when they play for Switzerland and Germany

 

 The great success of Albania is not being welcomed as well by some figures in Kosovo. Given the weak performance of the Dardanians and the departure of Dako and Muja, the head of the Kosovo Football Federation, Ademi, expressed that Albania should not touch the players of Kosovo. But Armand Duka has given a response on the "Real Story" show on "ABC News.

"I have had excellent relations with Ademi and all of Kosovar football, and in fact, I was saddened by Kosovo's loss yesterday, even more so than Ademi or others. But it's a bit specific, it's a delicate matter, but I don't see anything negative, except for positive things. If you ask any citizen of Kosovo outside Kosovo's borders, 'What are you?' They say Albanian. It's not heresy that Dako plays for Albanians, especially when it's his desire. It's a concern when our Albanian footballers, whether from Kosovo, Albania, or Macedonia, play for Switzerland or Germany; we don't have to worry when they play for Albania.

I understand them, but we don't go and snatch footballers who are in Kosovo's team; that never happens. It's a desire of the footballers themselves, or they haven't found opportunities in Kosovo. It has been more a desire of the footballers than a request from us. The Albanian national team will be open to any Albanian who wants to play for Albania, whether born in Tirana, Skopje, or Pristina," said Duka.
