Cevad Prekazi on the Disintegration of Yugoslavia and Warnings for Turkey

Legendary Galatasaray footballer Cevad Prekazi shared his personal observations on the disintegration process of Yugoslavia and his messages for Turkey in the book titled 'Prekazi vurdu, gol oldu!' (Prekazi shot, it was a goal!), written by Onur Bayrakçeken.

Prekazi, who is of Albanian descent and identifies as Yugoslav, argued that the Yugoslavia of the Tito era was torn apart by external interventions. Stating that peace did not come to the region after the division, Prekazi emphasized that Turkey should not face a similar process.

In his warning to Turkey, Prekazi stated, 'Yugoslavia was stolen, let Turkey not be stolen. Those born in Turkey should not fall for the game so that they can live in Turkey and die in Turkey.'
