The President of the Republic of Macedonia, Dr. Gjorge Ivanov, today in Villa Biljana in Ohrid, received the members of the Macedonian national basketball team.

President Ivanov stressed that the failure to qualify for the coming Summer Olympic Games in London should not affect the future activities of the Macedonian national basketball team. – On the contrary, let this be an additional incentive for your future victories and successes, President Ivanov said. The citizens of the Republic of Macedonia will never forget the moments of happiness you gave to our nation at the last European Championships in Lithuania. We will always be with you, in defeats and in victories, President Ivanov stressed.

Future plans and activities of the Macedonian national basketball team were discussed at the meeting, anticipating the European Championship in Slovenia, which will be held next year.
