"The reason we are coming out with the numbers is not to have the clubs argue, but for the citizens know how much we are trying to make it balanced and that they function in the best way. That they represent our country well. As is evident, the money is evenly distributed," said Mali.

According to him, there are institutions and companies that help our sports clubs and at the same time promote themselves. We also have such examples when it comes to sponsoring Red Star and Partizan.

"We want Red Star and Partizan to win as much as possible, to be the best examples for young people. And with our help, they can represent our country in the best way possible," said Mali.

At the end of a press conference held at the Vracar Club for the Elderly, the minister of finance said that a total of RSD 4.4 billion had been allocated for the two most successful and most popular clubs.
