Before Montenegrin handball players is the last match in the main round of the European Championship.

The Lionesses previously had no chance to fight for a place in the semi-finals, but the match with Sweden (Tuesday at 20.30:XNUMX p.m.) is important - a win would secure third place in the group for our national team and a trip to Vienna for the Euro finals.

The fifth position at the EP could also bring a place at the World Championship.

"The first goal was achieved with three victories in the first phase. We dreamed of a trip to Vienna, we regret not being able to play for a medal, but fighting for fifth place would be a great success. We will do our best to fulfill it and make the nation happy again", said Đurđina Jauković.

In the first stage, Montenegro defeated Serbia, Romania and the Czech Republic, and then opened the main round with defeats against Hungary and France. She won the chance to fight for going to Vienna with a triumph over Poland on Sunday (30:28).

"I'm happy that we got up after two defeats. There were many swings against Poland, but the most important thing is that we celebrated. Before that, we played the two most important games in less than 24 hours, which is unrealistic to sustain. Now we have a little more rest and time to get ready for Sweden, thanks to Andrija Damjanović and Danica Delić, who are doing an excellent job in the recovery process", Đina pointed out.
