Her reaction was intense They were partisans at the news of Nikola Mirotic’s decision not to honor his agreement with the Serbian team and to continue his career outside of Serbia.
Partizan issued one long notice, with which… he counterattacks! In the announcement, he states that despite the many days of negotiations, an agreement was reached with Montenegro, while he had given his word to Obradovic, he emphasizes that it is the threats are lieswhich he says he accepted, while pointing out that they had him guaranteed team and country officials for his and his family’s safety.
Finally, it leaves clear points, emphasizing: “KK Partizan Mozzart Bet strongly believes that the reasons for Nikola Mirotic not signing the contract have nothing to do with threats, but with some other things that the public will see The following days.
Partizan’s announcement in detail:
“Partizan, despite several weeks of efforts and negotiations, will not sign one of the best European players at the moment, Nikola Mirotic. The club’s interest in the player dates back to June, when it was reported that Mirotic would terminate his contract with Barcelona.
Without jeopardizing the player’s financial security at the end of the current contract at that time, Partizan’s president, sporting director and coach of the black and white team, Ostoja Mihajlovic, Zoran Savic and Zeljko Obradovic held preliminary talks with Nikola Mirotic, who he hosted them in his house.
When Barcelona and Nikola Mirotic completed all administrative pendings, official negotiations began in which the club accepted the player’s terms. Hereby, we would like to point out that conditions have changed several timesbut that the club always found a way to fulfill them and sent the undersigned three-year contract to Nikola Mirotic for signing a few days ago.
At the same time, a lot of information appeared in the public about the fact that Mrwho are threatening Nikola Mirotic and that there are fears for his safety if he becomes a Partisan basketball player. President Mihajlovic, sporting director Savic and coach Obradovic they assured the player multiple times that there was nothing to worry about and that he was more than welcome in Serbia.
Also, the team immediately contacted the highest state authorities to remove even the slightest doubt. With this opportunity, Partizan would like to thank the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, who personally called the player and assured that his and his family’s safety is guaranteed in Serbia and that they are welcome. For all of the above, there are written proofs in the form of e-mails or messages.
However, for reasons unknown to the club, Nikola Mirotic decided not to sign the already agreed terms and Partizan was forced after a certain waiting period to give up the agreement with the former Barcelona basketball player. On this occasion, Partizan would like to mention that about fifteen days ago Mirotic gave his word to coach Obradovic and then to president Mihajlovic, manager Savic and captain Pader that he will become a Partizan player. Also, the club would like to state that after this, they asked several times what other players the black and whites would bring.
The club publicly calls Nikola Mirotic, out of his commitment to the truth, and because he is a man who fights for the truth, to say who are the people who threatened him. The club’s desire and plan was to build the team around the players currently under contract and Mirotic himself, but now that plan will have to change.
Partizan strongly believes that the reasons why Nikola Mirotic did not sign the contract have nothing to do with threats, but with some other things that the public will be able to see for themselves in the coming days. The team turns to other solutions in the market and enters the 2023/24 season with unchanged ambitions».

A journalist from Mundo Deportivo is lighting fires about Mirotic: “Monaco, Milan or Panathinaikos?”
Naturally, the statement by Nikola Miroticthat he will not continue his career in Serbia and Partizan, has meant Euroleague alert. Montenegro, with his message earlier on Instagram he thanked Partisan for the interest, though made it clear that he will not play in Serbia as he would like, as, after what has happened, he thinks that the best thing for him and his family is to play in another European team! The big question, then, is now “where”!
We have been talking about the Montenegrin power forward for months Monaco are rumored to have approached him, giving him a very large contract. At the beginning of the summer he introduced himself as “closed” by Armani Milano and then they entered the gulf Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, with the player, however, not appearing positive about the possibility of coming to Greece. In the last few days, however, and with what was happening in Serbia, with the threats to Mirotic and his family, Spanish publications – mainly Mundo Deportivo– reported that Panathinaikos is trying to take advantage of the new data, in order to convince him and dress him in green. Something, of course, that is not confirmed by the “clover”.
A while ago, however, her authoritative journalist Mundo Deportivo, Sergi Solelit fires in Twitteras he more or less mentions that the options for Mirotic are three: Monaco, Armani Milan and Panathinaikos! Specifically, he writes and wonders: “Mirotic will not play in Serbia to avoid the war between Partizan and Red Star. Panathinaikos, Monaco or Milan?».

Mirotic: “I decided it is better to continue my career outside of Serbia”!
The serial where he will continue his career Nikola Mirotic it starts all over again! Montenegro, with his message to Instagramthanked Partisan for the interest, though made it clear that he will not play in Serbia as he would likeas, after what has happened, he believes that the best thing for him and his family is to continue his career in another European team!
Montenegro emphasizes that on the occasion of the discussions with Partizan, he accepted “threats and insults, which surprised me and hurt me a lotbecause I don’t want to be a person, who will divide people on any basis, let alone on the colors of the clubs” and underlines: “I decided not to be part of such an atmosphere and that I do not wish to expose myself or my family to further suffering».
He makes it clear, doesn’t he:I must mention that not a single threat has come from Red Star and I always have good and respectful communication with them». And he closes by stating:I made the decision that it is best for my family and me to continue my career in one of the European teams outside of Serbia».
Nikola Mirotic’s message in detail:
“Dear friends. I have dedicated my whole life to the search for truth and to fair attitude against everyone and everything. It is a difficult road, demanding loyalty. Just as I have dedicated a large part of my life to basketball, trying to give my best and yet always playing as part of the team. Indeed, basketball has become a part of my life, as a game, as desire to constantly improve and surpass myself. So it affects each other, the development of basketball as a game and the development of my personality. I want to continue like this. I want to play basketball and I look forward to my game. I want my family to share this joy too.
However, for weeks different information has been coming out about me and my future career. Against my will and desire, without my knowledge, and certainly far from the truth, random texts are published. Some of it was imaginations and arbitrary conclusions of individuals and media and all this caused a great deal of attention, which my family and I did not want at all.
As some information about the further continuation of my career in Partisan reached the public, threats and insults began, which surprised and hurt me greatly, because I don’t want to be a person, who will divide people on any basis, let alone on the colors of the clubs. I have decided not to be part of such an atmosphere and that I do not want to expose myself or my family to further suffering.
To be honest, I must mention that not a single threat has come from Red Star and I always have good and respectful communication with them. Also, I would like to mention that I am ignorant of the financial aspect, as well as the preferences in a particular club, as I wanted to play in a country that I love so much, but things went in the wrong direction. I would like to thank Partizan for the trust and desire to be part of their team, but I made the decision that it is best for my family and for me to continue my career in one of the European teams outside of Serbia».
One understands that after this development it has meant Euroleague alert. For the Montenegrin power forward, we remind you, it has been rumored for months that Monaco have approached him, giving him a very large contract. At the beginning of the summer he was presented as “closed” by the Armani Milan and then they entered the gulf Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, with the player, however, not appearing positive about the possibility of coming to Greece. It remains to be seen if he has changed his mind and especially which teams will now “run” for his acquisition…
