Georgia was among those 24 members of UEFA, which have voted against Kosovo’s membership in the European football’s governing body.
Kosovo became the 55th member of UEFA after 28 members of the European football’s governing body voted in favor at a congress in Budapest on May 3.
“We did not support because of foreign policy reasons,” President of the Georgian Football Federation, Levan Kobiashvili, told Tbilisi-based Rustavi 2 TV via phone from Budapest.
Georgia, which has two breakaway regions, does not recognize Kosovo’s independence.
