Albania won the right to organize the European U-21 Championship in 2027, in cooperation with Serbia. Partizan coach Aleksandar Veselinovic also spoke about this.

The Serbian coach of the Reds declared that it is excellent news, saying that it will be an extra motivation for both countries. According to him, the initiative should be supported, while adding that Albania and Serbia will be talked about all over the world.

"I think it's great news, first of all for the sporting aspect, but also for the economic aspect of both countries. This should also be extra motivation for both countries. I would be very happy for this to be the best championship organized by the experiences in the world of football. I believe it will be an excellent message. I think that all of us coaches and the media who are part of football should support this initiative to the maximum. Personally, I would like everyone to think like this. Normally, I don't have the power to force everyone. I imagine that the whole world will talk about Albania and Serbia. I see here that stadiums are being reformatted and structures are being improved. Serbia has also built 3 new stadiums. In relation to this, there will be many children who will be involved in sports and will not be part of the road. Those children who will be involved in sports will certainly have their idols. If we take it as a whole, I think it's something fantastic," he said.

Veselinovic also spoke about the Albanian Cup match, where his team will face Laçi, while giving the opponent maximum praise.

"After playing 3 days ago in the championship, tomorrow we face Laçi in the Cup. It is an excellent team, a team that is strong on their field. A difficult match awaits us. We will play two matches and they could be 200 minutes in total. It is very important that in these two matches for the Cup we are maximally concentrated for those 200 minutes. In fact, the first match is half the job.

We've talked a lot about the transfer market. If you ask me, I'm happy that the transfer market is closed. What's right and correct to say is that all the guys who are currently part of the team are the ones who will have maximum support and are the ones who will keep Partizan fighting on both fronts.

"What I can say is that during the January transfer window, new players with different physical conditions have arrived. We are all in the same process now. Our responsibility is to prepare them as quickly as possible and theirs to adapt as quickly as possible and the process will show. The most correct answer is that time will tell, so I say that the only truth is the field," declared Veselinovic.

The Laçi-Partizani match will be played on Wednesday, starting at 1:30 PM.
