Macerata versus Perugia will be a special final no matter what happens. There’s the league title at stake, which makes it a big deal, but that will be an even more important series for Podrascanin and Stankovic, given the many teammates of the national team they’ll face on the other side of the net. A kind of all-Balkan final. Besides, there’s also Perugia’s coach Boban Kovac from Serbia, ‘Serbia’, something that was written on the passport of Goran Vujevic not so long ago, but now a Montenegrin.

“I’ll be up against many teammates of the national team, who are also friends of mine – said middle blocker Podrascanin – Many of them will be at my wedding the 25th of May in Novi Sad. In those games we’ll have to put this friendship on the sideline, but there will surely be fair play between us. They congratulated me and Stankovic after our qualification against Modena, and we called them Yesterday night too”.
