The water polo match between Primorac Kotor and Jug Adriatic osiguranje faces uncertainty because Jug refuses to play in Kotor at a swimming pool named after Zoran Gopčević, a war criminal. Gopčević was once a water polo player and a guard at the Morinj camp, where many Croatians were tortured during the war. Jug believes that the pool should not bear his name, leading to a conflict that is preventing the teams from finalizing the match details.

According to the directive from the European Aquatics (EA) organization, the match must take place in Podgorica while they await a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), expected by Wednesday, March 4th, at noon. EA has instructed Primorac to organize the match in Podgorica and requested Jug to prepare for the event there. This decision is highly controversial and reflects the ongoing tensions related to the war's legacy in the region.

The implications of this situation extend beyond just the match itself, highlighting the sensitivity and complexity of reconciling sports, national identity, and historical memory in post-war Croatia and Montenegro. The final decision by CAS will significantly affect the relationship between these two clubs and possibly set a precedent for future sporting events tied to historical grievances.
