They are on a good path to repeat that success and I wish them good luck. We are lucky to be here with you, and I would like to thank you in the name of ourselves, our city and our library on this donation. This is just one of the examples how we can use sport to promote our city, our country and positively affect on the cooperation of our nations. We have to continue doing that", said Ergovic.
