It is impressive that we, being a small country, have great, world-class results and exceptional competitors in several sports and disciplines. Of course, your water polo and handball teams stand out in particular. You have achieved the dream of every athlete, and we all now expect that we will celebrate again after 8 August. Having already proven your diligence and courage, I hope you shall not lack luck or success. We wish you good luck and I hope that you will make Montenegro happy again, said Prime Minister Krivokapić.
