FIFA's permission to have the opportunity to play international friendly soccer match on Kosovo seems even offers EU SAA . It is a positive step , but does not equal Kosovo . Can not play an official match , then qualified for European or world championships , but can play friendly matches . Even the EU can have a SAA , but not treated as an independent
As for Kosovo seems no obstacle can be removed in its entirety and no problem can not be resolved by the end . Even though the state for the past six years , only Kosovo on the international scene is going from a status quo in a tjetër.Kjo seen in all efforts of Kosovo's participation in international initiatives , but also in the regional , be it sports or politics. For three years, as is the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia have seen how all the obstacles that are said to be removed for Kosovo thanks to this dialogue are only partially remove terms . Kosovo can participate in regional initiatives , but just making sure it does not appear as a state , the state signs , which ensure that there is equal to the states of the region . Even in relations with the European Union that Kosovo has written footnote to clarify that the star ( " fjollën snow that never melts from Kosovo name ) and all documents provided to it in any way not to be treated as an independent state .
Now came the turn of the sport , football and the expected decision of the World Federation of the sport , FIFA , that Kosovo be allowed to play friendly matches . Even this was a story that many people enjoyed in Kosovo and beyond . Echoed even greater than the opinion itself EU decision to allow the launch of negotiations for a Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Kosovo .
But FIFA's decision was a lot of obstacles , which , as in similar regional initiatives , and European integration , were made to meet the wishes of Serbia . Kosovo was not admitted to FIFA or UEFA , but that was only allowed to play friendly matches . In fact, other national teams that are full members of FIFA and UEFA were allowed to play such games with Kosovo . There are also restrictions on the use of state symbols of the Kosovo team .
