Serbia will face off against Great Britain and Turkey in the 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers window in November. The Serbian national team is in a tough spot currently, so wins in both games are crucial.

As written earlier, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade have offered all their Serbian players to head coach Svetislav Pesic. Similarly, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade president Nebojsa Covic has announced that the club is doing the same.

"I received an invitation from Svetislav Pesic and we had a meeting," Covic told. "We put 11 of our Serbian players on the table for the coach and told him to choose players for the matches against the British and the Turkish, and to choose all 11 if necessary. He chose Nedovic, Dobric, Luka Mitrovic, potentially, also the young Topic and he will get that."

With Partizan revealing the four players called up to the national team, eight players are currently known: Balsa Koprivica, Uros Trifunovic, Danilo Andjusic, Tristan Vukcevic, Nemanja Nedovic, Ognjen Dobric, Luka Mitrovic, and Nikola Topic.

Pesic made headlines a week ago, claiming that Great Britain is stronger than Serbia, to which the British head coach answered with surprise and irony.
