The “Eagles” enter the duel in Istanbul after a triumph over Greece with 100:94, while the host recorded a heavy defeat in Latvia of 111:85, and coach Pešić briefly analyzed the opponent’s game and stated what tactics our team should apply.

“All the matches that the Turks played in the preparatory period were quite good. Against different opponents, they showed exceptional team play, which is primarily based on the play of the outside players, Korkmaz, Osman and Larkin, that is, the two players in the inside positions, Šengun and Šanli. They are a team composed of athletics and, above all, experience,” said Pešić, as reported by the official website of the Basketball Association of Serbia.

The coach of Serbia pointed out that the Turks are a completely different team at home and that he is not fooled by the defeat of their rivals in Latvia.

“Of course, at home they play with much more motivation and, I would say, freedom. We saw that against Slovenia and in several other games. They have a difficult game against Latvia behind them. Maybe Latvia surprised them, even though their team has been close to the top for a long time European basketball. As always, no two games are the same, this will be completely different now.”

Pešić underlined that Serbia must not take points lightly like against Greece.

“So far, we have played three games away from home, against Slovenia and two at the Super Cup in Germany, which gives us a certain advantage in terms of adaptation to the away field. However, this is now an official match, a qualification and in which there is no correction. We had a little problem in the match with Greece, where we conceded too many points from the transition, we have to try to correct that here. That is our first task against an athletic team like Turkey. They will be carried by a great crowd for sure, and it is up to us to price, let’s reduce the number of points they will give from the transition,” concluded the Serbian coach.

Serbia’s basketball players have a score of 2-3 in the 1st group of qualifiers for the World Basketball Championship, the same as Turkey.

The first in the group is Latvia (4-1), followed by Greece and Belgium with a score of 3-2. The last place is Great Britain (1-4).

The three first-placed teams will qualify for the World Championship, which will be held from August 25 to September 10, 2023 in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.

After the match against Turkey, the Serbian basketball team is expected to participate in Eurobasket, which will be held from September 1 to 18.

Serbia will compete in Group D in Prague, and its first rival will be the Netherlands on September 2.

Then follow the duels against the host Czech Republic (September 3), Finland (September 5), Israel (September 6) and Poland (September 8).

The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, received today in a meeting the Commander of the Kosovo Security Force, Lieutenant General Rrahman Rama and all the generals of the Force.

On this occasion, Osmani said that he will support the KSF in the transition plan, which according to her, would be ideal to be completed before the deadline of 10 years.

The Supreme Commander of the KSF said that the Kosovo Army will continue to be an example of professionalism and reliability.

“As the supreme commander of the KSF, I offer you all my support, all the readiness to work so that the transition process of the Security Force is done as soon as possible, to have the necessary budget support in order to this transition should be completed on time, and ideally it would be if we could complete it earlier and of course provide the greatest possible international support for bilateral cooperation that the KSF has and advances it with the states already besides, but also participation in multilateral organizations and especially where we have the main goal “, said Osmani.

President Osmani said that the Kosovo Army is ready to move towards NATO membership. Whereas, the commander of the KSF, Lieutenant General Rrahman Rama said that the KSF has already entered the complex phase of transition, which requires support from the state.

“The Kosovo Security Force is among the most reliable institutions, thanks to the commitment, dedication and professionalism shown from the soldiers to the highest level, we have managed to maintain this primacy for 10 years. It is easy to be the first, but to hold this position is a little more difficult, but with the commitment of all and the support of the institutions, but also yours as the supreme commander, we will definitely keep it and fulfill all our obligations. The transition phase is a bit challenging, we have now entered the most complex phase that requires support from you, but also from the Government of the Republic of Kosovo. All the commitments we have made and the existing commitment I believe we will achieve our common goal and goal. This is a common achievement regarding the Kosovo Security Force, we are 24/7 to come to the aid of all citizens of Kosovo, without distinction “, said General Rama.

The meeting with the head of the KSF, Osmani made on her first day of work as president of Kosovo.

Otherwise, the Kosovo Security Force was established in 2009 on the basis of the Ahtisaari Plan, a document that led to Kosovo’s independence. This Force was set up under the supervision of NATO, but its mission and capabilities did not coincide with the ambition of the institutions for Kosovo to have its own army.

After the end of the armed conflict in 1999, in agreement with NATO, the Kosovo Protection Corps was formed as an emergency force. This Corps was later transformed into the Kosovo Security Force.

Meanwhile, the next step, after the declaration of Kosovo’s independence, was for this Force to be transformed into the Kosovo Armed Forces.

The Assembly of Kosovo has finally approved in 2018 three laws, which enable the transformation of the Kosovo Security Force into the Kosovo Army. Although the name of the KSF does not change due to the impossibility of constitutional changes, the adopted laws are estimated to give the KSF military capabilities during a transformation process within a few years.

Minister of Education Branko Ruzic says for RTS that it is very important to preserve the educational system. He emphasized that schools have proven to be the safest place, as well as that in some districts, the coronavirus has not entered schools at all. “So there is no reason to panic or to switch to online classes,” Ruzic said, adding that the situation was being monitored.

Branko Ruzic, as a guest in the RTS morning news, stated that educational institutions bore a huge burden, primarily educators, and that it is important to ensure that the process of acquiring knowledge functions in this way for as long as possible.

“We have a slight increase in infections”

“We have a slight increase in the number of infected people, but when we look at the statistics and the fact that we have 250,000 children in kindergartens, about 530,000 in primary schools, about 250,000 in secondary schools and 250,000 in colleges. That’s some million and 250,000 children we all care about the fear is legitimate and justified, but it should not be politicized and panicked, “Ruzic said.

He emphasized that schools have proven to be the safest place, because it has been shown that the process of transmission of the virus itself does not take place in them, but that the virus comes from outside.

“These measures that the Government adopted at the session yesterday, which are more restrictive, we hope will reduce the tone of the virus in the next 15 days, until December 1,” Ruzic said.

As for the specific numbers of infected students, he says that “Trampoline” has detailed data, but that in primary schools that percentage is somewhere around 0.1 percent at the level of the whole of Serbia.

Neither for panic, nor a reason for online teaching

“We have a situation where in some districts the coronavirus has not entered schools at all. So there is no reason to panic or to switch to online classes,” the minister points out.

He emphasized that from the beginning, there is a possibility for parents who want to decide to follow their children online.

“So far, that percentage in the beginning was some 4 percent, in September 2.7 percent, now when it started a slight growth, it is now 3.3 percent, but that only shows that parents have a lot of trust in the education system,” he added. is Ruzic.

What a red line

When asked what the red line is when they will have to switch to online classes, Ruzic says that there are clear protocols and regulations that are being taken.

“What is important is that the health part of the Crisis Staff will always be in charge of proposing those measures. For now, there is really no reason for that,” Ruzic points out.

He stated that the situation should be monitored and that a reaction should be made as soon as cases of infection appear.

He pointed out that there is a slight increase in the number of infected people among the teaching staff, and that this data will also affect the proposal of new measures.

“If there is a great growth in the ranks of educators, it will be a problem to organize the process of acquiring knowledge,” said Ruzic.

When asked if enough online classes were recorded, the minister said that they were always recorded three weeks in advance.

“We owe gratitude to our school administrations, now we follow the classes they recorded in the school administration in Valjevo, so for three weeks another school administration changes. I think they are very dedicated to their work despite what they do in their schools. Great. “Trug, great work and great dedication of those educators, and we must be grateful to them,” Ruzic said.

He pointed out that it is important for parents to be careful and cautious in order to prevent “the crown from entering the education system through the big door”.

“I think that these measures from yesterday are, in a way, both a signal and an alarm for all of us adults to take into account how we behave and whether we respect the measures,” Ruzic believes.

He emphasized that the law that was passed is very important, because it will have a preventive effect on people’s consciousness.

“I am sure that 80, 90 percent of citizens respect the measures, but because of the minority that shows a high degree of irresponsibility, unfortunately we come to a situation where there is more infection,” Ruzic concluded.
