Following the Tuesday meeting of all members of the Organizing Committee of Adria Tour, it was decided that the tournament could not be continued and, therefore, the matches in Banja Luka and Sarajevo will not be held, the Committee said on their Instagram account
“We are extremely sorry that we have to stop organizing the upcoming tennis tournaments in Banja Luka and Sarajevo. We were looking forward to promoting sports and providing financial support to local players, as well as to the audience finally seeing Novak Djokovic and other tennis players live, after many years of waiting. Unfortunately, due to all the events that happened in the last few days, we have decided that the most important thing right now is to stabilize the epidemiological situation, as well as for everyone to recover,” said the Adria Tour director, Djordje Djokovic.
