It’s going to be a busy weekend at the European Cup in Belgrade, with 331 judoka from 30 nations for this popular event in Serbia. With the renewed energy after winning two gold medals at the European Junior Championship, Serbia is fully in charge of its medals. But the competition is severe with strong teams from France, Hungary, Russia, Romanian, Germany and The Netherlands.

Serbia is ambitious and has the team and talents. The women are gaining ground and will have a share in this weekends medal table.
