After the General Secretary of the Basketball Federation of B&H Harun Mahmutovic yesterday said that “thanks to the people of good will the problem with the participation fee has been solved“ for the participation of cadets at the Eurobasket, the Council of Ministers of B&H replied.
As a reminder, after the triumph of the BH cadets over Germany with the score of 70:54, which secured them the qualifications to the semi-finals of the Eurobasket and direct placement to the World Championships 2016, FIBA broke the celebration of the players and the coaching staff, warning them that B&H will be expelled from the competition if 10.000 Euros of participation fee are not paid.
The Council of Ministers of B&H stated that they have reached a decision already in early August that the means in the amount of 100.000 BAM for the competitions and activities are to be approved for the Basketball Federation of B&H.
“After the implemented procedures, these funds were paid to the account of the Basketball Federation of B&H through the Treasury of B&H on August 12th this year. According to this decision, the means have been paid to the Olympic Committee of B&H – 100.000 BAM, Special Olympics of B&H – 25.000 BAM; Sports and Recreation Club ‘Stens’ – 40.000 BAM, and the International Handball Tournament of the Champions Doboj – 40.000 BAM”, it was announced from the Cabinet of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of B&H.
