Our team has been decimated, and the question of the budget the Basketball Association has arisen in Italy. It is interesting that Bogdan Tanjevic is now in charge of guiding the national teams.

Gianni Petrucci, president of the Basketball Association of Italy said that the budget of his organization is 37 million euros. The comparison was made right after that with Predrag Danilovic, who has 2.5 million euros to work within Basketball Association of Serbia.

They asked from Petrucci to explain hiring Tanjevic, who recently finished his career as a coach.

- I am not a coach, Tanjevic is. People say that Petrucci can't understand basketball? Tanjevic can. He is 70? I'd rather take experienced man instead of having some young one just because he is younger. Tanjevic has a task to locate the problems ant to tell us what needs to be solved - said Petrucci.

The reporters of Corriere della Sera made a comparison with Serbia after this statement, who came to the Silver medal in this European championship, and it did it without 8 standard team players.
