Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Serbia sent a letter of complaint Tuesday to UEFA alleging that its sports clubs in northern Kosovo are under pressure and threat.<\/p>\n

The letter to UEFA President Aleksandar Ceferin said Kosovo institutions recently put pressure on the sports teams.<\/p>\n

“Pristina institutions prevent Serbian club football players and sports professionals from training in their own stadiums and do not allow tournaments of a local character,” it said.<\/p>\n

It was reported that a request was made to UEFA to end pressure on Serbian clubs.<\/p>\n

Kosovo Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Hajrulla Ceku, said the facts were distorted in the letter by the Serbian Football Federation.<\/p>\n

“In addition to distorting the truth, the federation’s letter also uses derogatory language,” said Ceku.<\/p>\n

Kosovo Football Federation was accepted as a full member of UEFA and FIFA in 2016. But sports competitions, especially in the north, where mostly Serbs live, continue to be organized by Serbia.<\/p>\n

Serbia and Kosovo periodically face an escalation of tensions and are trying to find a way to normalize relations.<\/p>\n

Kosovo, predominantly inhabited by Albanians, broke from Serbia in 1999 and declared independence in 2008. But Serbia has not recognized its independence and sees its former province as a part of its territory.<\/p>\n
