The new head coach "opened" the cards for the first time - Suzana Lazović published the list of Montenegrin handball players she is counting on for the EHF week.
The main, but also expected, news is the return of Milena Raičević after disagreements with the previous selector Bojana Popović, and there are also four debutants.
This is how they found themselves for the first time among the "lionesses" - winger of French Reno Milica Trifunović and pivot of Romanian Minaur Andrijana Tatar, as well as junior national team members Sara Burić and Ivana Vujadinović.
Goalkeeper Ljubica Glendža (formerly Nenezić) is also returning to the national team, and the list includes players who participated in the World Championship in December, as well as the qualification tournament for the Olympic Games in Paris, which was held in April.
The Handball Federation of Montenegro announced that the Romanian ĆSM Bucharest ĆSM Bucharest player Đurđina Jauković, who should soon return to the field after recovering from a serious injury, will be at this gathering with the "lionesses".
Goalkeeper Marta Batinović recently returned to the posts after recovering from a serious injury she suffered at the World Cup in December, but she will be spared this representative action, in agreement with the coaching staff, bearing in mind that there will be no control games during the EHF week.
Our national team will be together in Podgorica during the EHF week, and with these actions, the "EHF Euro 2024 operation" will officially begin, the continental championship that will be held in Austria, Hungary and Switzerland from November 28 to December 15.
Until the start of the European Championship, the "lionesses" will have another gathering in October, and at their eighth European Championship, Montenegro will play in a group in Debrecen, and its rivals will be Serbia, Romania and the Czech Republic.
The two first-placed selections will qualify for the main round.
