“The admission of Kosovo to FIBA membership, despite objections from Serbia, was a logical consequence of Kosovo’s membership of the International Olympic Committee (granted in December 2014). The Basketball Association of Serbia will do everything to protect the Serbian clubs and players in the territory of Kosovo-Metohija,” the KSS said in a release.
“We expect FIBA to take seriously our warning that matches at any level, club or international and ranging from youth to senior, should be avoided at all costs,” it said.
