At the Kickboxing tournament that was held last weekend in Cetinje, Montenegro, a not-so-glamorous incident occurred. In fact, the judge from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Feđa Trbonja, hit the kickboxing coach of Fight Club Arbër, Migjen Basha, with a trophy.

The incident happened after the fight between the competitor from Kosovo, Nart Mehmeti, and the competitor from Podgoriva, Luka Heber, a fight which ended with the victory of the local kickboxer.

Being convinced that the Kosovar contestant was treated unfairly, coach Basha asked for clarification from the referee, a conversation which ended with the latter hitting the Kosovar coach.

The president of the Kosovo Kickboxing Federation, Fatmir Makolli, considers such an event as "very unfortunate".

"This is a very serious event that happened in Cetinje (Montenegro) towards our coach... You can clearly see what reaction the referee had, I think he was very busy and is a very big nationalist , but according to some data, he is also a Serb, and to react in that way, I for one am surprised, I have never seen such a bad incident attacking the coach", says Makolli first.

Even the head of the Kickboxing Federation says that this may have come because the judge in question, as well as other attendees, may have been hindered by the presence of Albanians there.

"It is known that we, as a state, have probably hindered it, Albanians hinder it when they participate, and it has probably waited for the moment. I don't know, have you heard the insults and insults that have been made against our state by the public and we must react very strongly to stop these in the future", Makolli emphasizes.

Makolli announced that he has already met with the President of the Kosovo Olympic Committee, Ismet Krasniqi, and that soon they are expected to come up with a joint response to condemn this incident.

"It is good to stop these events, an incident happened in Romania, now in Kick-boxing, tomorrow it will happen in other federations and to other contestants, I believe that we should stop this and react as strongly as possible. I am also in contact with the Ministry of Sports and the Olympic Committee, even a little while ago I had a meeting with the president (of the KOK) and in the future we will react together with all the sports institutions", adds Makolli. .

Finally, the Kick Box Federation expects the Disciplinary Commission of the European Kick Box Federation to take a decision on the suspension of the referee in question for a very long period of time from the administration of justice in this sport.
