They supported the NIS project "Energy of Knowledge" with the message that they were happy to be the part of the project which made investments in knowledge and science and promoted real values. "The children in NIS camp are the example how it is possible to make a connection between science and sports. In the fields of science they are successful just like top athletes, they are already stars and they should be congratulated since they have managed to find themselves in what they like. I am sure that they will become professionals in their fields soon“, Drobnjak said. The students were delighted to meet and speak with former national team players who used to be their sport idols. After the children had been introduced with the sportsment, the basketball players were photographed with the participants and gave them useful advice before the start of a basketball game.
