Highlights
Overview
The European Champions from Balkans, led by Slobodan Kovac, started their EuroVolley journey with a four-sets victory against the national team of Belgium. The star of the show for Serbia was outside spiker Uros Kovacevic, who scored 27 points in total. Ukraine also had a very good opening, but they needed five sets to defeat Greece in a match where they bounced back to command the tie-break. In 2019 Serbia and Ukraine locked horns in EuroVolley quarterfinal in Antwerp, when Serbia won after a thrilling five-setter to earn the title a few days later in Paris.

Match Report
Serbia withstand strong Ukraine start to secure straight sets win
Article
3 September 2021
Marko Podrascanin"This was a really important game for us and a big victory, especially that we finished it in three sets. It was a really tough game, especially in the first two sets, which we won with only two points of difference. Ten days ago we lost against Ukraine in their house during the friendly tournament, so before the game we knew that they are a really good team. They are improving with a few very good guys - like Plotnytskyi and Viietskyi."

Vitaliy Shchytkov"A few details were missing in our game, especially in the decisive parts of the sets. The first two sets were really close and it was really details deciding. We learn from every game, we have to analyse it and go further. Every victory and every loss is an important experience for us."
