CONTROVERSIES/ Kosovo is accused of acting with "premeditation",
Romania-Kosovo

Geopolitical and territorial problems cast a shadow over international football. The Nations League match between Romania and Kosovo was interrupted a few minutes before the end, while the score was still 0-0.

The Kosovar players decided to leave the field due to provocative calls from the local fans, who were cheering for Serbia - the country that committed a real genocide on the Kosovar Albanians. The decision to leave the field was led by the captain of Kosovo, Amir Rrahmani, who ended up at the center of accusations of "premeditation" of the sensational choice. "It is the second time it has happened in Romania. It was too much."

The Nations League match between Romania and Kosovo, which took place on Friday night, was stopped in the 93rd minute. Tensions flared when local fans started chanting "Serbia, Serbia", creating a tense atmosphere after an incident between Alibec players and Kosovo captain Rrahmani. The Napoli defender then decided to return to the dressing room, considering the situation unacceptable.

After a one-hour wait, the Danish referee Krogh declared the end of the match, as the Kosovo players did not return to the field. Only the Romanian team returned, while the referee reported the incident. UEFA published an official statement: "The UEFA Nations League match between Romania and Kosovo has been suspended. UEFA will provide additional information in due course."

Rrahmani and Lucescu, mutual accusations

After the match, the controversy intensified with statements from both sides. The captain of Kosovo, Amir Rrahmani, emphasized: "They started to call 'Serbia, Serbia', and after a minute the whole stadium repeated it again. A third cheer then started and the referee did not react. It was too much. Now enough. It's the second time it's happened in Romania and it should stop."

On the other hand, the coach of Romania, Lucescu, criticized the behavior of the Kosovo players: "They behaved shamefully. The match must end on the field. There were obvious provocations by the players towards the fans. Such behavior is unacceptable - thundered Lucescu after the match -. It was seen that they tried to do so, because in the game it was an important qualification. They played very well, they could have won. We had an exceptional goalkeeper" concluded the technician, referring to the need for 3 points from Kosovo to hope for qualification.

The reaction of the Kosovo footballers and the accusations of premeditation

A tense situation, which has erupted mutual controversies. The Dardanians consider what happened and the choirs of fans intolerable, while the Romanians targeted the captain Rrahmani and other players of the Kosovo national team. Faced with the provocative calls of the Romanian fans, the Kosovo players responded with gestures such as the eagle sign with their hands, a symbol of Albanianness and Kosovo's independence.

Other footage shared online showed the Kosovar players debating whether to continue the match, while their reactions to the fans were deemed inappropriate and provocative.

These episodes escalated the situation, which is now in the hands of UEFA to decide the final result of the match.
