Few days ago I watched a video on BBC about an athlete from Kosovo, her name is Majlinda kalmendi. She is a Judo player and she has won quite a few junior and senior tournaments.She has a bright chance of winning Gold Medal at London Olympics in 2012. The problem with her is that she does not have a country to represent at olympics. She is passionate about her sport and she dearly wants to represent Kosovo at Olympics but Kosovo is not recognized by majority of the countries in the world. European Union and USA have recognized Kosovo but Russia and China are against its recognition. Pakistan is also among those who didn't recognize this small and only Muslim Majority state of Europe.
Now Majlinda kalmendi is planning to represent Albania, and she said number of times in her interview that she would love to represent Kosovo but if not than she is willing to be part of albanian or any other team. Surely she is never going to represent Serbia even if they pay her big money as they fought against Serbia for so long. I liked the way she talked during the interview, she was confident and determined to go to olympics. May God help her....Come on Majlinda we support you.......here is the interview link

ReplyDeleteit is shameful for us keh Pakistan nay Kosovo ko recognize nahi kia
Interesting blog... and I am sure, Pakistan is backing the decision of China to let them play their diplomacy.. Do you know? Pakistan boycotted the Nobel Prize distribution ceremony because of China? I mean, i was completely ashamed, not because of boycott, just because I find my parent country to be a puppet of another lord among many others.. such a shame..
