Sports and Youth Minister Blerim Gashani has acknowledged that the organisation of the Mediterranean Games — Pristina 2030 — is facing difficulties and delays, linking them to institutional instability, lack of a full government, and problems in communication between local and international institutions.
Speaking at the Kosovo Parliament’s plenary session, Gashan has declared that the two-year period of institutional instability has negatively affected preparations for organising this sporting event.
He has stressed that the Law for the Mediterranean Games had not been adopted for 15 months, while after receiving the mandate, according to him, has been acted with swift dynamics for law prosecution and forming the Organising Committee.
I’m telling you that yes, we have concerns, we have difficulties because there has been instability and that two-year-old one has also caused delays and difficulties in the Mediterranean Games. To mention just a few of them, 15 months the Law for the Mediterranean Games has not been approved and we have just received the mandate, very fast dynamics we’ve processed and then sent down the formation of the Organising Committee and we’re continuing with full intensity, Gashan has declared.
The minister has acknowledged that problems are not limited to communication between local institutions, but also to reports with the Mediterranean International Committee ( ICG.
According to him, there are internal differences and friction in this process, which he has estimated is not useful to be discussed publicly. He has also cited the lack of a full government as one of the factors that have made the organisation difficult.
Of course we have difficulties because we have difficulties with inter-institute communication, but also communication with the International Committee of Mediterranean Games, which is ICG. Where is the main challenge with the ICG, but also with our institutions. There are many, even internal communications and friction and internal differences, it’s not good to go public because they don’t help. Not why we are not transparent but because they do not help but some of the difficulties are in the absence of a full government, he has said.
Another concern Gashan has raised in the Assembly relates to the principle of geographical inclusion in the organisation of the Mediterranean Games, respectively, the involvement of the entire territory of Kosovo. According to the minister, this basic principle is set not to be respected during 2025.
During 2025 it has been decided that one of the basic principles of the Mediterranean Games Prishtina 2030 would be violated. What is that? One of the basic principles of the Mediterranean Games — Prince 2030 — is geographical inclusion, including the entire Kosovo, Gashan has declared.
The Mediterranean Games — Prince 2030; are expected from July 24th to August 4th 2030. Kosovo will be the host of this event for the first time.
