The bosnian basketball federation announced to try to get some bosnian players back under the bosnian flag. It is not ruled out that Emir Preldzic, Mirza Begic, Hasan Rizvic and Ratko Varda play for their home countries. Emir Preldzic, one of the two bosnian stars in Fenerbahce Istanbul expressed his wish to play for Bosnia-Hercegovina if it s possible. Since Preldzic,Rizvic and Begic are naturalised players only one of them would be eligiblible to play for Slovenia during an official tournament. KS BIH however didn t react when FIBA asked for consent of the bosnian KSBIH as Slovenia asked for a change of basketball nationality of Edin Alispahic. KSBIH ignored FIBA letters twice and FIBA decided to decide in favour of Alispahic.
