The whole hall whistled. The Serbian team rejected the call to end the war in Ukraine: They ordered us to

The players of the Serbian team refused to join the gesture with the domestic players, who called for an end to the war in Ukraine. They refused to hold the long Ukrainian flag with the slogan “Stop the war”.

Thus, only domestic basketball players with referees held the flag, and guests from Serbia listened to their fans for refusing solidarity with the hard-pressed country.

Zalgiris won the match 103: 98 after extra time. In some players of the Red Star, their conscience moved after the match and they distanced themselves from the whole thing.

“As a team, they told us not to touch the flag. But I would like to make it clear that I definitely do not support the war. I’m for peace around the world, “wrote the American Aaron White, who played for Žalgiris before his current engagement in Belgrade.
