Emir Dautović, a member of the Board of Directors of the Handball Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, announced his departure for the European Championship.
- Things must be clear, we managed to go to the European Championship with great difficulty, thanks above all to the involvement of the members of the RSiH Board of Directors Vladimir Branković, Faruk Halilbegović and my littleness. These boys deserved to go to the championship that they won on the field and it is unfortunate that we were in a situation where going to the Euros was questionable. But I’m glad it’s over and they’re off to the championship. I believe that he will do his best, said Dautović.
