Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Discussions have emerged regarding the potential participation of Serbian basketball clubs in the VTB United League. Filip Šunturlić, Vice President of the Basketball Federation of Serbia (KSS), confirmed talks with VTB League President Sergey Kuschenko. While initial cooperation might involve pre-season tournaments or the VTB Supercup, Šunturlić noted that the heavy schedules of top clubs like Partizan and Crvena zvezda make immediate full-league participation impractical. Concurrently, the Serbian basketball landscape is facing internal governance issues. The Olympic Committee of Serbia (OKS) has issued a formal demand for those within Serbian basketball to return to “frameworks of legality and institutional responsibility.” The OKS expressed concern that ongoing disputes within the KSS could impact the integrity of the Olympic movement and national sports arbitration. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Serbian basketball faces league scheduling and governance concerns The Serbian First Women's Basketball League has set its 2026-27 schedule, while the Olympic Committee of Serbia has called for legal and institutional accountability within the national basketball federation. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/serbian-basketball-faces-league-scheduling-and-governance-concerns ### 2026-09-12: Serbian basketball clubs may join VTB League The Basketball Federation of Serbia is discussing the potential inclusion of Serbian clubs in the VTB League, though heavy schedules for teams like Partizan and Crvena zvezda pose a major obstacle. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/basketball-federation-of-serbia-discusses-vtb-league-participation --- Cite as: Serbian basketball governance and league participation.
