In late September 2026, the KSS ‘Basketball is for Girls’ project won the FIBA ‘Women Leaders’ award. Led by figures such as Tina Krajišnik and Sonja Vasić, the initiative focuses on introducing girls to the sport through mentorship and psychological support. Following its success in Belgrade, the project plans to expand to other regions in Serbia with support from FIBA and a grant from Molten. By late October 2026, the KSS held a ‘Media Day’ at the Belgrade Arena to promote the 2026-2027 season for several youth leagues, including the Herc Prajm Junior League of Serbia and the Triglav Cadet and Women’s Cadet leagues.
