After the accusations of Luiza Gegë, the European champion athlete, that she was denied some rewards by the Ministry of Education and Sports, the latter reacted by claiming the opposite.

The awards given are based on the provisions of Article 27 of Law 79/2017 "On Sports" as amended and the by-laws derived from it.

Only for the year 2023, the rewards of elite athletes have resulted in about 55 million ALL for 23 elite athletes and their respective coaches for the achievements in the sports they represent.

Our athlete Luiza Gega has been supported over the last two years with 13 awards for 10 international competitions, based on her achievements, from the World level to the Balkan level, five of which are awards for the achievements of 2023.

We will continue during this year, being an Olympic year, the support for our elite athletes ," says the reaction of the Ministry of Education and Sports.
