UN reacts with official statement, clarifies incident that occurred near Peja

The Bashkimi basketball club has issued an official statement clarifying the incident that occurred against Peja on Sunday.

Bashkimi managed to defeat Peja with a score of 84-78 to take a 2-1 lead in the semifinal series.

However, this match had a bitter taste when, just seconds before the end of the match, a large brawl that occurred outside the court lines caused the duel to be interrupted.

The Prizren club said that the incident had nothing to do with the referees or the Peja players and that the situation reached this point due to the improper response in its management by internal security.

"Thanking you for your continued support and love of basketball, we would like to inform and clarify regarding the incident that occurred in the last game played by our club."

"Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding and inappropriate response in managing the situation by the internal security, which was contracted by the club to take care of security in the hall, an incident and an unpleasant situation occurred completely unintentionally, just 5 seconds before the end of the match, when the result was already clear."

"These actions do not reflect our sporting values ​​and goals," the Union's response said, among other things.

The semi-final series has now been moved to Peja, a match that will take place on Thursday and if Bashkimi achieves victory, it will qualify for the final.Telegraph/
