Ales Pipan, Slovenian National team head-coach, made important changes on list of candidates for next European Championship. Many experts think that Slovenia can be the biggest surprise on next Championship, and surely that all news from this little country are very important.
The main news is that Primoz Brezec is still on the list, even he announced several times that he will not play because NT head-coach didn?t count on him during qualifications.
At the other side, Jurica Golemac is out from the team after several injuries, which he had during this season in Ural, in Russia. This is surely little surprise for everyone, because Golemac was very important player for National team in last few years.
Pipan erased next names from the list: Dragi?a Drobnjak, Jurica Golemac, Gregor Hafnar, Jure Močnik, Milo? Paravinja, Smiljan Pavič, Simon Petrov and ?eljko Zagorac.
Surprise is also that Mocnik is erased even he was one of the best in Slovenian U20 team who won gold medal on European Championship last year.

Brezec (Charlotte), Aleksandar Čapin (Panellinios), Sa?a Dončič (Geoplin Slovan), Goran Jagodnik (Prokom), Neboj?a Joksimovič (Pivovarna La?ko), Goran Jurak (Jesi), Ivica Jurković (Olympiakos), Jaka Lakovič (Panathinaikos), Domen Lorbek (Helios), Erazem Lorbek (Climamio), Marko Maravič (Milano), Marko Milič (Scavolini), Stipe Modrić (Geoplin Slovan), Bo?tjan Nachbar (New Orleans), Radoslav Nesterović (San Antonio), Sa?o O?bolt (Union Olimpija), Hasan Rizvić (Pivovarna La?ko), Uro?
