Top-tier teams from Slovenia, Austria, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina have arrived, ready to showcase their skills and competitive spirit.

On behalf of the organizers, Dušan Perišić and Bojan Novokmen addressed the audience, wishing all the teams fair play and good weather.

“We thank all participants for coming. We are especially grateful to the Mayor of Ugljevik, Dragan Gajić, and the director of the swimming pool, Slaviša Jović – without their help, this tournament couldn’t have been organized at such a high level,” the organizers said.

The tournament is held under the patronage of the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik. Strong support also came from the director of “Autoputevi RS” Nedeljko Ćorić, Minister of Trade and Tourism Denis Šulić, and numerous sponsors who help this sporting spectacle grow each year.

The goal of the event is to promote beach volleyball and involve more young people in sports activities, while also showcasing the tourism potential of Republika Srpska.

The tournament will continue over the weekend in Ugljevik, with top regional teams moving on to Gradiška (July 19–20), and then to Bijeljina (July 26–27).
