There are two sides of the story while the decision of the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) on this matter is expected on December 9.
Pëja said their delegation traveled 15 hours to the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina which is under control of authorities of Republika Srpska (also known as Serb Republic, one of two constitutional and legal entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina) and were prevented to step in despite having all necessary documents and visas. They claim the only reason why they were not allowed to cross the border were Kosovo** license plates on their bus. Pëja added that it was all planned out from the beginning by Mladost management.
Version of Mladost say that Pëja delegation did not have proper travel documents and that they did not even file for visas.
CEV will check out all documentation from both sides and make the decision, at the latest, by December 9.
**Kosovo is a disputed territory and partially recognized state in Southeast Europe that declared independence from Serbia in February 2008.
