According to an announcement by EuroLeague, Zoran Savic of Partizan and Panathinaikos were fined for critical remarks about referees, while Crvena Zvezda was fined for the throwing of objects to the court in the team's Round 25 game against FC Barcelona.

The full text for each sanction reads as follows:

"Mr. Zoran Savic, Sports Director of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, has been sanctioned with a fine of €5,000 for the lack of respect towards a member of the officiating crew on the occasion of its road game against Virtus Segafredo Bologna under Article 27.2.b) of the Euroleague Basketball Disciplinary Code."

The game in question was supposedly the scene of some suspicious referee decisions, according to Partizan's management, and this discontentment was also reflected in Serbian basketball media.

"Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade has been sanctioned with a fine of €4,500 for the throwing of objects on to the playing court on the occasion of its home game against FC Barcelona under Article 29.2.h) of the Euroleague Basketball Disciplinary Code."

This fine was leveled after Crvena Zvezda's 76-85 loss to Barcelona in Serbia, where foreign objects were thrown onto the court by Zvezda fans.

"Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens has been sanctioned with a fine of €5,000, for its public statement related to the performance of the referees following EuroLeague Regular Season Round 11, under Article 24.2.c) of the Euroleague Basketball Disciplinary Code."

PAO's fine hails from post-game comments made after the Round 11 loss to Partizan at Serbia, which was a heartbreaking loss that saw Partizan mount a comeback and upset Panathinaikos in overtime.
