VIDEO/ Football breaks taboos, Kosovo flag raised for the first time in Belgrade
2025-04-02 22:02:47 / SPORT
A historic moment that goes beyond sports: for the first time in history, the Kosovo flag has been raised in Belgrade. And this taboo was not broken at a political summit or a diplomatic conference, but at the UEFA Congress, the highest body in European football.
This is no coincidence. It is further proof that football is many steps ahead of politics, an extraordinary force that can convey messages that no other field can. In a region where historical tensions often prevail, this gesture has a powerful symbolism: sport can pave the way for what politics often finds impossible – coexistence and acceptance.
This moment comes at a time when UEFA and the President of the Albanian Football Association, Armand Duka, have been attacked for the bold decision to organize the 2027 European U-21 Championship in Albania and Serbia.
Critics were quick to accuse and cast doubt on this project, but this flag waving in Belgrade today is a clear answer: the decision was not made for narrow interests, but to advance a strong message of cooperation and peace.
For the first time, the Kosovo flag stood alongside those of other European federations at a major event in Belgrade. It is a clear signal that barriers can fall and that recognition does not always come from the tables of diplomats, but often from a soccer ball and its power to unite people.
