Dear Imran,

on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports and on my own behalf, I send you my most sincere congratulations on the magnificent success achieved at the Balkan Championship in Istanbul and the proudly won gold medal.

For all of us who cheered you on during the championship held from November 6 to 8 in Istanbul, this gold of yours shines with the brightest shine.

Watching you do your best on the field and in the junior category up to 68 kilograms defeating a number of six outstanding fighters from Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bulgaria and North Macedonia, you showed what character, unshakable faith and true sports maturity mean.

Once again, I congratulate you, but also your club “Respect” from Sarajevo, who accompanied you on this journey. I wish that this success achieved at the big show in Turkey will be a strong wind behind you for the upcoming European Championship.
