The Department of Sports has awarded Kosovar Agim Agushi for his entry in the Guinness book of Records for heading a soccer ball while sitting. He has other records and hopes to have more entries in the Guinness book (Ekspress). His other records are:
walking while heading a soccer ball (15.356 km [9 mi 857 yd]);
running up and down stairs while heading a soccer ball (1920 steps walking upstairs,1860 steps walking downstairs);
heading a soccer ball, doubles passing (11111 in 3:55:20 hrs, together with Bujar Ajeti);
heading a soccer ball in a sitting position (4:02:01 hours).
While we are at sports, soon after Albania hired Croatian Otto Baric to coach the Albanian national soccer team, Croatia fired its national team coach Zlatko Kranjcar. Kranjčar had taken the helm during the preparation for the UEFA EURO 2004™ campaign that ended in disappointment at the group stage, succeeding the veteran Otto Barić.

The President of Kosova, Fatmir Sejdiu after returning from New York declares: ‘I can say that among all interlocutors prevails the belief that Kosovo independence is a realistic and a possible option and certainly I can also say that they have an enormous esteem for the actions we have taken in the Vienna process, but also for general developments since after the war in 1999 in Kosovo’, adding that Kosovars’ stance for independence wasn’t opposed by the Ambassadors at UNSC, but, Kosovars have to work more for achieving it. While the Macedonian parties are still working on a coalition and elections will be repeated in some areas.
