Ivica Jevtić, the head coach of the Montenegrin men’s volleyball team, has revealed the roster for the training camp in Kolašin as they prepare for the final two qualifying matches for CEV EuroVolley 2026.
The team is scheduled to assemble on July 14th, with accommodations at the “Bjanka” hotel and practice at the “Kolašin” sports center, where they will also compete against Norway in the final match.
Notably absent from the 16 selected players is Luka Babić, who has not yet recovered from an injury sustained during this spring’s CEV Golden European League tournament. Young middle blocker Vukota Čelebić from Budva has received his first call-up to the senior squad.
Head coach Jevtić’s selection includes:
Coaches: Rastko Milenković, Marko Joksimović, and Danilo Dubak;
Assistants: Đorđe Jovović and Milutin Pavićević;
Reception players: Nemanja Peruničić, Vasilije Milenković, Benjamin Hadžisalihović, Milan Rovčanin, and Vukašin Cimbaljević;
Middle blockers: Nikola Đurović, Matija Ćinćur, Dalibor Lečić, and Vukota Čelebić;
Libero: Andrija Joksimović and Stefan Radević.
Montenegro is set to face the Czech Republic on August 13th, followed by a home match against Norway in Kolašin four days later. In their previous encounters last year, both teams triumphed over our players—Norway winning 3:0 (25:19, 28:26, 25:20) in Kristiansand and the Czech Republic taking 3:1 (20:25, 25:18, 25:22, 25:21) in Kolašin.
