Shay Shtriks: Thank you everybody for a great Final Four

Here are the words of Sports Director of EUROHOLD Balkan League - Mr. Shay Shtriks, after the end of Final Four 2014 that was held in Prishtina:
 
"Dear basketball friends,
 
Thank you, KB Sigal Prishtina and the city of Prishtina for a great Final Four 2014!
 
Congratulations to BC Levski – the players, coaches and staff. All the season Levski showed great basketball and in the last two most important games during the Final Four they were the ones to be above the others and fought more. 
 
I would also like to congratulate the other three clubs that reached the Final Four 2014 - BC Gilboa Galil, BC Balkan and KB Sigal Prishtina. I do believe that we saw the best four teams and there were four great basketball games, and like the last five Final Four events, the 6th one was a great one. 
 
The referees in all four games officiated in the best way and thus helped the teams to reach to this high level of basketball. Our commissioners and instructor supported them from the side to officiate in this level and this we call professionalism. 
 
The best players in the first evening were the spectators of the city of Prishtina. They created good atmosphere and amazing show time and definitely in the first evening they were the best players! However, the fans of KB Sigal Prishtina and basketball lovers from Kosovo and Prishtina have to know how to accept losses and to respect an international event even if their beloved team does not play in the Final. All of us - the teams, KB Sigal Prishtina Management, the basketball federations and the EUROHOLD Balkan League would like to see in the future that this has been changed and when there is an event that supports the sport in the country, it should be respected no matter if and which local team competes.
 
I would like to send big “thank you” to the management of KB Sigal Prishtina and all other people involved in the organization who supported us and made Final Four 2014 possible, for the great hospitality and attention. They worked day and night to provide the best basketball event and to make Final Four 2014 a model for high level basketball event and organization. It could never happen without the real devotion and hard work of all the staff of the Balkan League of course together with KB Sigal Prishtina. 
 
I would like to thank the media that covered the Final Four in the best way - all the TV partners – RTK – Kosovo, BNT – Bulgaria, Sport 5- Israel and Sport Media TV which gave the chance to the basketball fans to watch us all over the world.
 
Once again we are very thankful to our Main Sponsor EUROHOLD for standing firmly behind us in these difficult times and for supporting the favourite game basketball. Big thanks also to our Main Partners – “Euroins”, “Euroins Insurance Romania”, “Euroins Osiguruvanje Macedonia”, “Globul”; to our Partners “Pepsi”, “Mazda”, “Fiat”, “Motobul-Orlen”; to our Media Partners – Bulgarian National TV, Sportmedia TV, Bgbasket.com, Sportsko Radio Macedonia, Macedonian National TV, Kosovo National TV, Romanian National TV and RTV-21.
 
Thank you as well to all the guests who respected our invitations and joined us in the celebration of a great finale of a tremendous season!
 
Finally, I would like to thank to all BIBL staff that has been working all the season in the most professional way. They supported the requests of everyone, starting with the clubs, federations, media and without their great devotion and hard work we will not finish the 6th seasons with big smile and happiness.   
 
We are now starting to work for season Number 7 of EUROHOLD Balkan League and I am sure that season 2014-15 will be even more exciting and interesting, with more emotions and tough games.
 
Thank you again and wish to all the clubs to finish the local season in the best way."
