These games are reward for the very good performance we had last year by winning the championship, so it’s only fair that the team is here. When we talk about Serbian teams, we are talking about dangerous teams from Serbia and Bosnia.

They have the Serbian school, young teams, are aggressive and always very dangerous, but we are well prepared, have done good scouting and are ready to overcome the difficulties of these games. The team can’t be quite ready yet, no, we are in the final phase of our preparation, but I am satisfied because the preparation is going well and smoothly.

So based on the programming we’ve put in place, the team is at the level we think we should be at this point.”
