The Socialist Movement for Integration held a roundtable discussion on the sports program in the city of Shkodra today.
In his speech, the vice president of LSI, Petrit Vasili, said that there will be real investment and laws for sports.
Among other things, Vasili emphasized that "Let us never forget that without a developed sport there cannot be a healthy Albania. Healthy from a health point of view but also not socially. Young people and as many thousands of athletes as we have in many sports disciplines and not just one, I am a big fan of football, but the battle with sports is never won if all sports do not progress and develop".
Speech by the Vice President of LSI, Petrit Vasili, from the round table on LSI proposals for sports
Greetings, honorable participants in today's roundtable. We are today in the city of Shkodra, as a city that has been and remains the cradle of sports in general and not just of a specific sport, and secondly of being at a table with honored and respected athletes and sports administrators, who bring honor not only to Shkodra but also to all of Albania.
Of course, unfortunately, due to the obligation to respect the Covid rules, those who would have liked to participate in the table were many times more numerous, but nevertheless are not here at the table, but thanks to the media we have the opportunity to be followed by many others and we will definitely have the opportunity that the moment we emerge from this Covid situation, we will hold a very large meeting, I believe also to celebrate the victories and that Vllaznia is maturing in these times.
Another special pleasure is that in addition to the invited friends for whom we express our gratitude who are at this table and we are very respected to share our sports program with them, and another pleasure is that I am here today with my other friend, at the same time the political coordinator, one of the most excellent representatives and who remains a friend of sports, who is Mr. Agron Çela and on my left side is the secretary for sports at the LSI, a deserved master of sports, Mr. Viron Bezhani, at the same time one of the excellent champions of Albania for 13 consecutive years.
Let us never forget that without a developed sport there cannot be a healthy Albania. Healthy from a health point of view but also not socially. Young people and as many thousands of athletes as we have in many sports disciplines and not just one, I am a big fan of football, but the battle with sports is never won if all sports do not progress and develop.
Not all people have a vocation, people love sports in all their forms, this is how multi-sport sports have been born since ancient times, but today its dimension after Covid takes on a role that it has never had before. Albanians and the whole world need sports more than a day ago and whether it is the way this sport is administered, whether it is the way they are motivated, whether it is those who are professionals, whether it is those who are amateurs, but to return firmly and without turning back to sports once again is a dimension that we all need to work on, as we definitely need a healthy society and for this every effort and sacrifice would be worth it and would be small in relation to the greatness that is expected from sports.
