The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 hosted the celebrated Croatian basketball players, members of the Yugoslav national team that won the World Championship in Ljubljana in 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petar Skansi, Ratomir Turdi\u0107, Damir \u0160olman and Nikola Ple\u010da\u0161 are members of the famous group of five that was on the top of the basketball world 50 years ago. The only person missing from the famous group of five from the lunch with President Milanovi\u0107 was the late Kre\u0161imir \u0106osi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final match of the World Basketball Championship was held on 23rd<\/sup> May 1970 in Ljubljana between the national teams of the former Yugoslavia and the United States of America.
