After the request from KB Bashkimi supported by the Kosovo Basketball Federation to join the competition from the upcoming season, Mr. Shay Shtriks - the Sports Director and Mrs Lubomira Shtriks - Marketing and International Relations Manager - visited officially today the city of Prizren and the club. During the day they met the Mayor of Prizren Municipality - Mr. Ramadan Muja who is a big supporter of the team together with all his staff. At a specially organized for the visit press conference in front of the local media he expressed his huge desire KB Bashkimi to become part of the League and he reconfirmed his support for the basketball as the most popular sport in Kosovo at present.

Mr. Shtriks was welcomed by the President of the club and Vice-President of Kosovo Basketball Federation Mr. Shaqir Totaj. He was taken to the sports hall and to the hotel which the club plans to use during the season. The hall is a typical Balkan basketball court where some renovation has already started in order to meet the standards for an international competition and of course the ones of BIBL regulations. It has a capacity of 3000 people and it is expected to be full from the very first game of the new season.

With the support from the Municipality and local sponsors, Mr Totaj declared their ambitions to build a competitive for the Balkan League team with good management, organization and strong roster of course.

In the end of the week when Mr. Shtriks will finish his Balkans trip, an official confirmation for the acceptance of the new team will be sent to Kosovo Basketball Federation, KB Bashkimi themselves and the Board-members.
After visiting the city of Prizren and meeting personally with the Management, there is no doubt the good basketball, fair play and attractive games we are used to in Kosovo will take place also in Prizren.

This is a historical moment for KB Bashkimi not only because it will be for the first time that they will compete on international level but also because the club celebrates 70 years from its foundation this year. It was created back in 1945 and after the Kosovo war of 1999, they won the Kosovo Cup while in 2014 reached the final of the competiton which they lost to KB Sigal Prishtina.

During season 2014-2015 KB Bashkimi played in the first division ETC Superliga where they finished on the 3rd position.
