The young water polo team of Montenegro finished the World Championship in Bucharest and Otopeni in seventh place.

This is not what Petr Radanović's team wanted, who went to Romania to try to defend the bronze medal, but at least they ended the tournament with a victory.

In the last match at the World Cup, our selection was convincing - it defeated Croatia 12:9 and ended the competition with a score of three wins and three losses each.

Our U20 team dominated against the Croats, leading 5:2 in the first quarter, and had the biggest advantage in the middle of the last period when it was 12:6...

The most effective player in the winning team was Balša Vučković, who scored three goals, Jovan Vujović, Danilo Stupar and Srđan Janović scored two each, while rivals Marko Mršić, Neđo Baštrica and Matija Sladović scored one each.

This is Montenegro's second triumph over Croatia at the World Cup, after they were better in the group of five.

She also defeated Spain in the first round, and in addition to the Italians - from whom she lost in the group and in the play-off for placement from 5th to 8th place - she was also defeated by the United States of America.

The title was won by Hungary with a convincing triumph against Serbia (12:7), while the bronze went to the Americans who defeated Greece (11:6).
