In an uplifting development for Montenegrin football, the Football Association of Montenegro (FSCG) and the country’s as well the region’s leading sports betting operator – Meridianbet, have announced an elevated level of partnership, making Meridianbet an official sponsor of the country’s FA.

The sponsorship agreement, signed in the House of Football by Dejan Savićević, President of the Football Association of Montenegro and the European football legend, and Jovana Klisić, Executive Director of Meridianbet Montenegro, will run through to the end of 2024. This represents an advancement in a collaboration that began last year, when Meridianbet started sponsoring the First Montenegrin Football League.

On this occasion, Savićević expressed his delight with the extended collaboration. “We are immensely honored to have the support of Meridianbet, a company with regional and international credibility,” he said. “We are glad that MeridianBet recognized the mutual benefits of this partnership, which we look forward to taking to even greater heights.”

He further praised the timing of this agreement, emphasizing the significance of the upcoming period for the “brave falcons.” He stated, “With Meridianbet on board, the FA and our ‘falcons’ have gained a top collaborator and teammate. The following years will prove the value of this partnership.”

Echoing the optimism, Jovana Klisić highlighted the importance of Meridianbet’s cooperation with FSCG. “The signing of this contract marks a major leap forward, paving the way for a prosperous partnership,” she noted. „As a company recognized as a leader in sports betting and gaming throughout the Southeast Europe, this sponsorship will massively improve the quality of Montenegrin football as well as our reputation for being the region’s top sports sponsor.”

Meridianbet will be present at all official competitions, including domestic leagues and national teams, while also aiding in the development of infrastructure, sports facilities, and youth programs. “Our goal is to contribute to the growth of Montenegrin football and to build a strong foundation for future successes together,” Klisić concluded.

Both MeridianBet and FSCG are eagerly anticipating their journey towards shared success, increased popularity of football in Montenegro, and the achievement of common goals in light of the country’s ongoing EURO 2024 qualifying campaign.

Serbia’s ZLF Urges Total Ban on Gambling Ads

Serbia’s Zeleno-Levi Front (ZLF/Green-Left Front), a local green political party, is advocating for a total ban on gambling ads in the country. According to its representatives, banning all ads would be the most surefire way to protect the public from gambling harm.

The ZLF just organised the Games of Chance, Games with the Health of Citizens (Igre na sreću, igre sa zdravljem građana) forum, scrutinising the gaming industry and its negative consequences. During the forum, representatives slammed the government’s recent proposal to limit gambling ads, saying that this wouldn’t be enough.

For context, the government recently proposed a ban on gambling ads featuring prominent celebrities, mirroring similar measures in other regulated markets. For context, Serbian law currently allows professional athletes to advertise betting products, to safer gambling advocates’ dismay.

The ZLF, however, believes that its total ban would be the most effective way to minimise potential harm. During the forum, National Assembly member Biljana Đorđević noted that the ZLF had submitted a ban proposal in March but regretted that the government had not responded to the proposal or discussed the matter.

Đorđević suggested that Minister of Internal and External Trade Tomislav Momirović has been avoiding the discussion. Momirović, for context, has previously suggested reducing the visibility of gambling ads by prohibiting ads on billboards on busier roads and streets.

Echoing arguments and concerns raised in other regulated markets, Đorđević said that having celebrities promote gambling exposed children to potential danger. Since younger audiences are more easily affected by marketing, this could cause them to associate betting as a normal part of sports.

ZLF MP Marina Mijatović repeated these claims, saying that the government has so far done a bad job at protecting minors from negative exposure to gambling. While Mijatović acknowledged that Serbia cannot prohibit gambling, she noted that the ads do not need to be so eye-catching and appealing.
