After more than a year since we started working on this project, we would be happy to inform you that the book “How Yugoslavia Has Won the World“, by Serđa Tavčar, has been released for sale.

Promotion of the book will be organized on January 11th in the ceremonial hall of the Italian Institute of Culture in Belgrade, starting from 6 pm. Among the speakers will be Sergio Tavcar, author of the book, Dusan Babic, translator, and Alessandro Gori, the initiator of this project.

The book “How Yugoslavia Won the World” is a colorful confession by Sergio Tavcar, a sports journalist with RTV Koper, about the emergence and development of Yugoslav basketball. The legendary Dragan Kicanovic says in the preface of the book: “Reading this book, and from my own point of view, the then representative and athlete – I not only reminded myself again of this gift from God that you can make your spectators happy with your spectators, countrymen, your friends and teammates. I am especially pleased to see how Sergio Tavčar met, but he also put himself in the mentality of the athletes of the Balkan region – the people of warm blood. This heartbeat is a feature of all the winners and is important, both in the field and in life.
