Last weekend, the most effective Montenegrin volleyball player abroad was Danijela Džaković, who is playing phenomenally in Azerbaijan. Nevena Vukčević also continued her good rhythm, while Simona Petranović came one step away from her first trophy of the season.

Our national team player Danijela Džaković was extremely inspired by her team Mili Avijasi's 3:0 victory over Absheron. She finished the game with 18 points, and her team achieved another victory in the finals of the third round of the championship.

Nevena Vukčević also had a double-digit scoring performance, as her GEN-I Volley celebrated in the eighth round of the second round of the Slovenian championship. The team from Nova Gorica defeated Ankaran away 3:1, and our representative had 13 points. GEN-I Volley thus broke a streak of four defeats in the championship, and with two rounds remaining it is clear that they will be the fifth-placed team before the playoffs.

Zagreb's Mladost advanced to the Croatian Cup final, and in the championship they continued their winning streak that has lasted since October last year. Simona Petranović's team was better than Dinamo in the Zagreb derby in the Cup semi-final, with a score of 3:2, and in the final they will face Kaštela. Tomorrow there will be another Zagreb derby, as Mladost will play Dinamo in the semi-final of the MEVZA League Final Four. In the Cup semi-final, Simona played only in the third set, and in the Croatian Super League she was in the mood for the Zagreb team's 3:0 triumph away to Don Bosco - she finished the game with 13 points.

In the French League A, Bordeaux, the team of our Katarina Budrak, lost in a tough away match against Nantes 3:1 in the 23rd round of the competition. Our middle blocker won five points, and her team has three more rounds to maintain its position leading the play-offs.

The play-offs have begun in the Romanian championship, and our representative in the competitive Division 1 celebrated the victory with her team. Lugoš Mine Dragović celebrated on the road against Koroni Brasov 3:2, and our representative failed to achieve a scoring performance. The return match in Lugoš is scheduled for Wednesday.

In the Serbian championship, Darja Popović had a good performance. Our young volleyball player won eight points, but her team Omladinac was defeated by Radnički 3:2. With three rounds remaining, Omladinac has a record of two wins and 17 losses, the same as the penultimate Inđija and Spartak from Subotica.

Jedinstvo, the team of Montenegrin women's volleyball coach Jovo Caković, is in great form and catching up with the leading teams. They defeated Partizan 3:0, and our young middle blocker Staša Mitrović played in the third set. It was the fifth consecutive victory for the team from Stara Pazova, so by the end of the championship they have a chance to be among the top four teams ahead of the playoffs.

Banja Luka celebrated a 3:1 victory over Orašje in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegrin middle blocker Teodora Rakočević participated in the triumph with nine points.
