Quote:Although this season Partizan had fantastic results in the near future will not get A license, as no other club in the region.
"Last year we had meetings with the clubs of the Adriatic league in order to resolve all issues set for years in the region. That agreement remains in force. Partizan, Cibona and Olimpija will play for two years in Euroleague . When that agreement expires, we'll review it again with A licenses, but do not expect that a club from the region receives, "said Bertomeu.
Bertomeu also explained the process of licensing and Euroleague intention to have a stable group of good teams in the market.
"We want to have a stable group of teams from large markets, but without forgetting the national champion. We want to include a large market and we need something in the Euroleague from Germany, France and probably from Poland. We have to accept the reality of regional leagues, and great teams have to play, although there have problems. We want a full hall, and some teams such as Barcelona, Fenerbahce have a problem with a visit, and Siena, for example, has a small room, "said Bertomeu.
