Spanish sports comitee CSD is probably the most narrow-minded sport
organization in Europe. They proved their incompetency by cancelling the
invitation of Yugoslavian National Team, because of NATO air strikes on
Yugoslavia. So Spanish basketball fans lost the chance to see the team,
which is considered as the best ever in Europe. Shame!
Yugoslavia was going to play some games in Spain in June before Eurobasket
but the people from Spanish CSD (the biggest sports comitee in Spain) have
ordered not to allow Yugoslavia to play in Spain neither in basketball nor
in handball. It is a bad idea. Why donīt give the chance to Spanish fans
watch Divac, Stojakovic and all that stars live? And have they any
involvement of the attack to the Kosovars or the NATO bombing?
