UEFA President Michel Platini, currently visiting Albania, said that Kosovo had to be admitted in the United Nations before becoming a member of UEFA.

Platini added that the same goes for Kosovo's membership in FIFA.

The head of UEFA explained that although he was aware of the Kosovo Football Federation's requests as well as lobbying of the Albanian Federation, the rules for membership in UEFA and FIFA had to be respected.

Platini arrived in Tirana to facilitate the efforts for overcoming the rift between the Albanian Football Federation and the Ministry of Culture and Sports. http://www.makfax.com.mk/look/novina/printer.tpl?IdLanguage=1&IdPublication=2&NrArticle=131693&NrIssue=818&NrSection=20
