The former technical director of UEFA and now the latter's technical advisor, Ionut Lupesku, has issued a statement in the Romanian media, where he emphasizes that the Kosovo footballers have undertaken a very brave action. They had to take into consideration the fact that internationals have changed their criteria regarding the issue of discrimination in stadiums.
The representative of Kosovo is often faced with chants of "Serbia, Serbia" during her matches by opposing fans and according to Lupescu, UEFA no longer sees this as discrimination for "Dardans", paving the way for such behavior in the future as well. .
" I ran away from the stadium in the 85th minute, I didn't see the events from the stands, but then I saw them in the media. But the feeling is that the Kosovo team showed a complete lack of professionalism. Such a thing should not be done ", he told gsp.ro.
The chants of ' Serbia, Serbia' that were heard on the pitch at the end of the match are no longer interpreted by UEFA as discriminatory behaviour. And as far as I know, the Federation of Kosovo was informed about this situation in advance. Also, to get to abandoning the match, you have to go through three stages, according to the official procedures. However, they immediately left the field and never came back ," he continued.
" I don't know what the Kosovo players thought when they refused to play. I thought it was a challenge from their side, I expected Amir Rrahmani, the captain, to have a different attitude. But unfortunately, this is the Balkan mentality.
What do I expect from the Disciplinary Committee? It depends on what the delegate and judge write in the report. Undoubtedly, the sequences will also be seen in the video. But I see no reason why Romania should not secure a match won 3-0 ", said the UEFA adviser.
