February 20, 2025Ismet Krasniqi has been re-elected President of the Kosovo Olympic Committee (KOK) for the 2025-2028 mandate, at the General Assembly and the 9th Electoral Assembly held in Pristina
The assembly members of the 9th Electoral Assembly have elected the new Executive Board for the 2025–2028 Olympic cycle.
It will once again be led by President Ismet Krasniqi, who was elected by acclamation. Krasniqi who took over the presidency in 2021 after serving in the Karate Federation, received unanimous support in an uncontested process. Milaim Kelmendi, Arben Fetahu, Gazmend Maxhuni and Musa Selimi were elected vice presidents.
Distria Krasniqi (athlete representative), Besire Domaniku (wrestling), Florian Miftari (basketball), Bahri Gjinovci (volleyball), Avni Nuha (cycling), Vjollca Krasniqi (football) and Teuta Beselica Berbati (rugby) were elected members of the executive board.
Upon the proposal of President Krasniqi, three other members were elected: Fatos Tabaku (judo), Halil Sylejmani (athletics) and Arianit Nikçi (mountaineering and sport climbing).
In addition, a highly symbolic decision was made: former KOC President Besim Hasani was named “Honorary President” in recognition of his leadership and legacy in the Kosovo Olympic Movement. Hasani led the KOC for 25 years, from 1996 to 2021, and played a crucial role in securing Kosovo’s recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 2014.
