Skopje (FIBA U18 European Championship, Division B) – FIBA Executive Director Europe, Kamil Novak, on Wednesday met with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Director of the Agency of Youth and Sport, Mr. Darko Kaevski, praising the continued strong work done by his nation at hosting FIBA youth events. 

In recent years, it has not been a summer of FIBA European Youth Championships without a stop in The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and this summer has been no different, with the capital city currently playing host to the FIBA U18 European Championship Division B. 

“The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are now comfortably one of our most experienced federations when it comes to hosting youth events,” commented Novak. “This has been further exemplified by their ability to host some of our more challenging events – those which involve 24 teams.” 

Mr. Kaevski showed a strong willingness towards FIBA and his country’s basketball Federation, pledging his full support to the Federation and their hosting of events. 

Also present at the meeting were Secretary General of The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Basketball Federation, Monika Gavriloska, as well as the Federation’s Sports Director, Vladimir Temelkovski.
