According to Meridian Sport, EuroLeague's president, Dejan Bodiroga, and EuroLeague's CEO, Paulius Motiejunas, have arrived in Belgrade to hold talks about the matter.

Namely, the league's executives will have a meeting with Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade on Wednesday and another meeting with Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade on Thursday.

The incredible atmosphere during both clubs' home games has been the selling point for numerous years, highlighted by the recent videos of the teams' fans. Both Crvena Zvezda and Partizan have been advocating for A licenses that would keep the clubs in the EuroLeague permanently, establishing them as shareholders.

If A license is given, both clubs will earn additional income from TV rights and the market pool. Additionally, neither of the two sides would have to worry about whether they will compete in the EuroLeague next year.

Motiejunas recent comments to BasketNews sparked outrage in Serbia, as both the clubs and the local fans were disappointed with the CEO's words about a possible A license for the two Belgrade teams.
