Former captain of the Albanian National Team, Mërgim Mavraj, has sent a supportive and motivating message to the red and black players ahead of tonight’s match against Serbia.
In an Instagram post, he told the footballers: “Boys, the war is over, Kosovo is ours forever. Now play football.“
Serbian media reacted sharply to Mërgim Mavraj’s statement, labeling it a “provocation.”
The Serbian portal “Sportal” called Mavraj’s message “shameful,” adding that “they can’t do without provocations even after ten years.” Other Serbian media outlets also reported on the post, with B92 writing that it “enraged the Serbs.”
