Coach Taulant Stërmasi has done a great job. Sportsmen do not emigrate, they have support in their country. Albania now has a good law for elite athletes. We don't ask for alms, we don't want to strike, we want to have the government as a partner. We thank the government for the support it has given to sports teams in schools', said Fidel Ylli.
