The player of Minessota Timberwolves explained why he decided to step down. However, the questions about Partizan and the future of the club remain.
As Pekovic explained: “Ater nearly two years that I spent as the president of BC Partizan, I decided to resign. When in the fall of 2015 the club was in a situation that is very well known to all, I accepted the responsibility and come back with a firm desire to re-lay the foundations of Partizan, hoping that the club would eventually become again what Europe remembers – a powerhouse! The task was not easy… First and foremost, the club could not function, having a 6,5 million euros debt”.
Pekovic put money from his own pocket, according to him the debt has been reduced to 4,5 million euros, but he does not have any more the time to be the president: “At this moment I am no longer able to dedicate 24 hours a day to Partiza. I decided to act responsibly and in the only way I think is right. That means to resign and let someone else be the president who will able to devote 100% to the club. From my part, I will continue to help the club as much as I can and as far as my successor as president is requiring”.
