Problemi u Olimpiji:

After the managing committee of Union Olimpija met on Tuesday but didn't come out with any final decision regarding the difficult financial situation in the club except that it will try to find solutions in the next ten days, players published their official statement on Thursday.

Signed by the captain Marko Milič but written on behalf of all players, the statement included the ultimatum to the management of the club. »We decided that we will stop practicing and playing a day after the Euroleague's game against Maccabi, scheduled for November 30th, if we won't receive our salaries until then. We regret we have to take such a radical stand and we hope things will resolve until then as it was promised to the club and to players,« was written in the statement. Afterwards the statement of the club's director Matjaž Tavčar followed. »The management of the club was not surprised with the ultimatum of players. The club is in a difficult financial situation due to debts to players and coaches from the past and also because we are paying off the old loans. The club's management met with players on Thursday and promised to do everything in the next days to assure money before December 1st,« said Tavčar.
