The Municipality of Žabljak has established the Durmitor Youth Basketball Club, and this decision was approved by the local parliament members at their last session, held at the end of last year. This is the first sports collective founded by a local government.

President of the municipality Radoš Žugić He said that the club will be financed from the municipal budget.

This year, he pointed out, 25.000 euros will be allocated to finance the club's operations, or about 2.000 euros per month. The money will be used to purchase equipment, pay for a coach, and travel expenses to matches.

"Coaches who have been running the basketball camp in Žabljak for years told me that there are a lot of talented children for basketball. The prerequisites for playing basketball in Žabljak are excellent, considering that we have a sports hall that is available all 12 months of the year. Today, 52 children from Žabljak practice basketball," said Žugić.

Žugić recently agreed to cooperate with Zoran Vuković, the founder and coach of the football club "Breznica" from Pljevlja.

"The plan is for the coaches of FK 'Breznica' to train interested participants twice a week in Žabljak, while one training session per week would be held at the stadium in Pljevlja. We will also arrange with socially responsible actors the organization of transportation to Pljevlja. What is important is that the Municipality of Žabljak has offered to host the team and that if certain prerequisites are met, FK 'Breznica' will play some of its matches at the stadium in Žabljak. We continue to create the prerequisites for playing sports in our city," said the first man of Žabljak.

He said that the club's management, Assembly, Board of Directors and president will do their work on a volunteer basis.
