NEXE confirms position two in Croatia, Spartak second in Serbia
CROATIA: On round is left to play in League 6. Zagreb is champion, marching towards another, seventh in a row, season without a lost point. In 9th round against Poreč 41:32 (Obranović 10). In a match which was decisive for a place in SEHA Gazprom League next season, NEXE have managed to beat Varaždin in a good away performance with 22:26 (Lelić 11 saves, Nuić 5 goals) securing a position in regional League next season too.
SERBIA: Round before the end of League 6 Spartak Vojput have managed to reach and secure second place which will bring SEHA Gazprom League to Subotica next season. Spartak have played 25:25 against Radnički which was, because of Partizan's home loss against Metaloplastika 23:28, enough to secure desired position 2. Partizan have had a big chance to reach regional competition once again considering the fact that Spartak will in the last round play against still unbeatable Vojvodina but did not use it against the team from Šabac. League's table says: Vojvodina 18, Spartak 10, Partizan 7, Metaloplastika 7, Radnički 6, Jugović 6.
BELARUS: Meshkov and SKA Minsk will meet in finals. In semis Meshkov were with 2-0 better than Kronon (second match 45:23, Baranau with 11 goals), and SKA Minsk were also confident against Gomelj (2-0).
MACEDONIA: Three rounds are left to play in Macedonian League 6. Vardar and Metalurg are proving why they are members of SEHA Gazprom League. In 7th round: Vardar-Zomimak 40:23 (Dibirov 9) and Metalurg-Prilep 40:30 (Đukić 7). Vardar are playing best handball but Metalurg are still in a position to surprise them and fight for the crown just like Zomimak might surprise Metalurg in a battle for position 2 which leads to SEHA Gazprom League. Narrow finish.
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: Championship is over and Borac are champions. Only thing they still have to play is Cup (30th and 31st of May) where they will in semis meet Izviđač. Second semi-final will be played between Goražde and Čelik.
