The Montenegrin women's basketball team is preparing in Bar for the upcoming European Championship, which will be held from June 18 to 29 in the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy and Greece.
Montenegro will play its group stage matches in Brno, where, in addition to the hosts Czech Republic, its rivals will be European champions Belgium and Portugal.
"As always when it comes to the national team, I really have to point out that I am very happy when we are together. I hope for a new challenge, because some new, younger players are coming, so this European Championship will be very special for us," said our national team playmaker Marija Leković.
Our national team will start playing test matches next week. The first tests will be on May 20th and 21st against Serbia in Zlatibor, and then from May 26th to 31st they will participate in the Games of the Small Countries of Europe in Andorra.
Our national team will play a guest match against Slovenia on June 11th, while two days later they will have their last test before EuroBasket against the Italian team in Bologna.
"We have plenty of games and time to prepare well for what awaits us. It is certain that our appearance at the Games of Small Countries of Europe will also mean a lot to us, where we will have the opportunity to prepare through several matches. I believe that together with the coaching staff, we will all do our best to prepare as best we can in order to leave the best possible impression at the European Championship, but also to announce that we can grow from year to year," emphasized the young Baranka.
In mid-February, after a year and a half in the Fenerbahçe jersey, Marija Leković joined the Spanish Avenida.
"I changed clubs, but I fit in well, had minutes, tried to impose myself, which benefited me a lot and now I feel good and I am sure that I can help the national team," concluded Leković.
