The Montenegrin champion and National Cup winner announced signing of small forward Cedomir Vitkovac (201-F-82, agency: Beo Basket). The 26-year old Vitkovac is coming to Buducnost from Serbian and Adriatic league champion Partizan Belgrade. He joined the team of head coach Dusko Vujosevic in 2007 from Vojvodina Srbijagas. Last season he appeared 15 times in Euroleague averaging 3.6 ppg and 1.9 rpg. In the regional championship Vitkovac had 4.1 ppg and 2.6 rpg in 26 games, while in Serbia had added a bit lower numbers. In these two years with Partizan Vitkovac won two Adriatic league titles, two Serbian league titles and two National Cup trophies. In Euroleague they reached Quarterfinals twice. In the first year Tau Ceramica was better 2-1 this year CSKA was too strong for Serbian team 2-0. Before Partizan and Vojvodina Srbijagas, Cedomir Vitkovac was a member of Crvena Zvezda Belgrade. As a reminder, few days ago Buducnost extended contract with the head coach Dejan Radonjic. Situation about Vladimir Dasic and Nemanja Gordic is still unresolved. Namely, many teams are interested in these two players, but they are still in Podgorica. If Buducnost decide to keep them, they will for sure be marked as one of the candidates for Adriatic league title. Of course in Montenegro they are unreachable over the past decade.
