DETAILS

In the stadium “Zahir Pajaziti”, work is being done where from artificial grass will be transformed into natural grass.

As a result of this, Llap’s team, in the first three matches, will change destination, where it is expected to move to the capital.

The head coach of the Llapja team, Tahir Batatina, has confirmed that in the first three matches his team will play at the “Fadil Vokrri” stadium.

“The works are continuing and according to the plans the works will last 1 month and 10 days, where in the first two or three matches we will not play in our stadium”.

“We will move to the” Fadil Vokrri “stadium, after we have agreed with FFK and after the completion of the works we will play in” Zahir Pajaziti “, said Batatina for” Euro Duel “in Dukagjini.

Visar Vokrri from Riinvest Institute says that other markets should be explored besides those of the region where Kosovo exports more.

He said that recently there is a growing trend for exports to the US, which he thinks should continue to grow.

“Years have been exported 24-25 million euros worth in the US, while in January and February of this year were exported about 13 million. “We have an enormous increase.”

Vokrri in the show “Seven days with Beet” of Klan Kosova said that the private sector was forced to start work from scratch after the end of the war. But, for the state of this sector, Vokrri also blames the governments.

“Kosovo’s economy has undergone a complete deindustrialization during the 90s. Even the last war has destroyed even the little economy or private sector that has remained until then. “The private sector started from scratch after the war, but I can say that the lack of a development vision from all post-war governments has greatly contributed to the negative trade balance.”

He also spoke about Kosovo’s barriers to export to countries in the region.

“Since joining CEFTA, Kosovo has systematically faced various trade barriers from all countries without exception. We know very well that Serbia and Bosnia do not recognize Kosovo and these two countries are the most problematic in terms of exports. But Kosovo producers have also faced trade barriers in Albania, Montenegro and northern Macedonia. “All countries have applied barriers, whether of a political nature or various non-tariff or technical barriers.”

This morning, the roads around the stadium “Fadil Vokrri” in Prishtina are blocked for traffic, because the match Kosovo – Sweden will be played.

According to the announcement of the Kosovo Police, this will be done to enable traffic within normal limits, thus setting up checkpoints in order to stop and instruct citizens.

“Blockages and restrictions in the area around the Stadium will be made, based on the decision issued by the Municipality of Prishtina, respectively the Directorate for Public Services. The plan in question will start to be implemented tomorrow from 07:00, until the end of the match, where the traffic will be stopped and the parking of all vehicles on the streets: ‘Enver Zymberi’ and ‘Rinia’ will be stopped “, it is said, among others in the Police notice.

On this occasion, the police appealed to the citizens to avoid the movement of cars towards the stadium.

The representative of Kosovo has scored a deep victory in a friendly against the National Team of Lithuania, writes “Zeri.info”.

“Dardanët” triumphed with a result of 4: 0 against the Lithuanians at the stadium “Fadil Vokrri” in the capital.

Remember that Kosovo after four days in the same stadium will face Sweden in the match valid for the qualifications for the World Championship “Qatar 2022”.

On March 31, Spain will host Kosovo in Seville, also a qualifying match. /Zeri.info

GOALS REALIZED IN THIS FRIENDLY MATCH:

The coming ten days are extremely important for the Kosovo National Football Team. “Dardanët” led by coach Bernard Challandes will play three matches, two of which are valid for the qualifications for the World Cup “Qatar 2022”

Lithuania comes to “Fadill Vokrri”, on March 24 for a friendly match and then Kosovo hosts Sweden and goes to Spain on March 28 and 31.

Analyst Arsim Plepolli, speaking for KosovaPress, expressed optimism in the face of these challenges because Kosovo has returned very important names that will give strength to our team.

“We are happy with the fact that now we have players that we did not have before. It is about the top striker, Muriqi, although he is not being activated for example from the first minute, but he is still having minutes. We have the return of Rashica, we are happy with the fact that Rrahmani has also returned. We all know that it is a very strong group do .we will play with Sweden. Now maybe I say a little unfortunately for us that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also coming back, we have seen it is an attacking ball, but in any case we should not rely on who plays from the opponents but we should rely on our national team and pray that we have all available, all players ……. We think we will succeed even though it will be very difficult because we know that the Kosovo National Team is young, especially without “Dardanët” is a little paler. “, Said Plepolli.

The landing of a striker like Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the “Fadil Vokrri” stadium will undoubtedly be an additional threat to Kosovo, but Plepolli says that the Swedish tall man can be stopped if we find a corpulent player to place in front of him, although it draws attention that the focus not to be alone in Ibra.

“But we certainly know that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an attacking ball that I do not forgive when he is in front of the goal, he is very strong. Then we have to find a corpulent player but we should not focus only on Zlatan Ibrahimovic because Sweden has quality players… .they are a collective group. We know that the Swedes have an almost all-German mentality, they never give up…. “It is a very serious national team to respect, but no matter how we are in our stadium” Fadil Vokrri “, sometimes we know how to play very good games,” said Plepolli.

The absence of Mirlind Daku, the top striker in the Balkans by coach Bernard Challandez made a big noise in the football-loving public in Kosovo, but Plepolli, speaking for KosovaPress, says that we should not interfere in the coach’s election but that he should be held responsible for the decisions it makes and good results.

“We should leave all the competencies to the selector and we should not interfere in the selection because at the moment you are involved in the selection or someone is inclined to take it or not, then the selector does not take responsibility…. But he must know one thing, if there are no results, he must go from there. And why did he not take Daku, why did he not take the other one, then let him think as a selector. … ..I think there was room to cool down at least in the gathering, but still, I said the responsibility remains on the selector… ..Let him get the job done, let him select whoever he wants, but we want results. Therefore, let me think well that we want the results, we do not care who is invited or who is not “, stressed Plepolli.

Regarding the expectations that Kosovo should have from these two matches with Sweden and Spain, Plepolli stated that despite the fact that these two national teams are favorites, they will not have an easy time to triumph at the “Fadil Vokrri” stadium.

“Now to be real, both teams with us are favorites, like Sweden, like Spain… ..Football is never known, you can find me for example not find the day of the Swedes or the day of the Spaniards but we are in the top form even then we can punish them. “I think that in” Fadil Vokrri “it will be very difficult for some teams to defeat us,” Plepolli said at the end.

In addition to Spain and Sweden, Kosovo is in a group with Georgia and Greece.
