A country stabbed through the heart Marian Cozma was commemorated in the EP
MEP Sógor Csaba took an active role in the event; he met with Petre Cozma, the victims father and accompanied him throughout the event.
Marian Cozma was considered a world class player; his death was
mourned last year by two countries: his homeland, Romania and his
chosen home, Hungary. The circumstances of his tragic death are still
unclear with the investigation still ongoing. His teammates, neighbors
and the citizens of Veszprém spoke of their grief and fear in front of
the camera. Marian Cozma’s untimely death was a great loss to his team
where Cubans, Serbs, Croatians, Russians and Hungarians play sports
alongside each other.
His loving memory was an aid in overcoming the grief: Veszprém went on to win a European championship. They say they’ve received the most support and strength to carry on from the victim’s father, Petre Cozma who is also involved with handball: he is a handball trainer and was mentor to his son. Since Marian’s death, Petre Cozma has founded a school in Bucharest bearing his son’s name where talented children can learn the secrets of the sport.
- The young Marian Cozma did more while he was alive and through his death than us politicians in years for an idea we politicians have been working towards for years: peaceful coexistence – said Sógor Csaba in remembrance of the handball player.
