Celina seems very committed to the Kosova team. Both he and his dad said he likes how he's the center piece for the Kosova NT. I'm sure we could atleast get him in the fold for the Euros but I don't think DB is even interested in these guys. He doesn't want to shake things up and more importantly he wants players with "experience". To him a guy like Zeneli is not experienced enough while Andi Lila, a bench player for a midtable Greek side, is a borderline starter. DB may have plans for these guys after the Euros but sometimes you can't play the waiting game for young talents whether they merit a call up or not.. You just got to do it.
Even though I've never seen Zeneli play I know you just have to call up him because if we don't then he'll commit to Sweden(i've said the same about Avdijaj 2 years ago). Not to mention there's a strong case that Rashica and Zeneli are better than any winger we currently have.
There's still too much nepotism in the NT for my liking. That's starting to change under GDB but it's still there.
BTW, What happened to other City prospect Sinan Bytqi? Looks like he just came back from a serious injury and last year he made some appearances in Holland before getting hurt. Might be a player for the 2018 campaign.
