Four BIBL countries qualified for EuroBasket 2011 for now

Four countries, who have clubs playing in the EUROHOLD Balkan League qualified directly for EuroBasket 2011 in Lithuania.
 
Croatia and Serbia qualify automatically, as right now they are playing in the FIBA Wolrd Championship in Turkey, while Macedoni and Montenegro fought hard to earn their way to Lithuania next year.
 
Macedonia finished second in Group B, with a balance of 5-3, right behind Great Britain (6-2). Despite that, Marin Dokuzovskis team qualifies directly to EuroBasket 2011 as one of the best second-placed teams. In the direct matches against Great Britain, Macedonia had advantage after a 96-104 loss away from home, and a big 75-56 win in Boris Trajkovski Arena in Skopje, but in the last round they lost to Bosnia which made them finish second. Bo McCaleb was the key figure for the team in the qualifying campaign, averaging 23.5 points per game, along with 3.2 assists and 2.0 steals.
 
In Group A, Montenegro finished first with 6-2 balance and qualified for EuroBasket for the first time in their history. Dusko Vujosevics squad left behind them teams such as Italy and Israel. The only two losses for Montenegro were against those two nations - 73-77 against Israel and 71-72 against Italy. Nikola Pekovic led the way for his country, averaging 20.3 points per game. Omar Cook was a floor general, averaging 6.3 assist and 1.3 steals per contest.
 
Bulgaria failed to qualify directly to EuroBasket 2011, and now Rosen Barchovskis squad will have to go through additional qualifiers next year right before the start of EuroBasket 2011.
