블라디 디박이 군 징집 문제에 대해 해결을 봤다는군요.
<br>
디박이 어제 세르비아-몬테네그로의 수상과 국방 장관을 만났는데, 지난 번 군 관계자의 발언이 행정 착오였다고 말했답니다.
<br>
세르비아 대통령과 수상, 그리고 베오그라드 검찰 측도 디박은 아무 문제가 없다고 밝혔습니다.
<br>
디박이 국민 영웅이라 그런지 대통령까지 직접 나서는군요.
<br>
알고 보니, 디박은 이중 국적을 갖고 있어서 군대 안가도 됐던 모양입니다. 마르코 야리치도 이 경우에 해당된다는군요.
<br>
잘 알겠지만, 우리 나라 법은 만 18세 이상의 경우 이중 국적을 용납하지 않죠.

Divac will not face charges over missing military service
<br>

<br>
BELGRADE (Ticker) - Former NBA center Vlade Divac will not be prosecuted for not serving in Serbia & Montenegro's military.
<br>
<br>
Just a day after his country's president and prime minister had said Divac was in the clear, Belgrade prosecutors announced he would not face charges.
<br>
<br>
"We checked everything that we got from the military office and there is no reason to suspect that Divac committed any crime, so no charges will be filed," Belgrade prosecutors said in a statement released on Friday.
<br>
<br>
As sports stars go in Serbia & Montenegro, where basketball is hugely popular, Divac is one of the biggest. He was among the first Europeans to play in the NBA and enjoyed a 16-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets and Sacramento Kings.
<br>
<br>
Divac also helped his country win gold medals in international competitions, including the 2002 FIBA World Championship in Indianapolis.
<br>
<br>
The 37-year-old Divac retired this past summer due to back trouble.
<br>
<br>
Divac was hired immediately after his retirement by the Lakers as a European scout. He flew to Belgrade and was reassured by Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica that he would not face legal action.
<br>
<br>
"In a very short period, this unnecessary question will be resolved," Kostunica said. "Numerous times during his playing career, Divac had shown his patriotism and not just in sport, but in other activities as well."
<br>
<br>
Serbian president Boris Tadic agreed that all charges against Divac must be rejected since he is "one of the most famous people in Serbia, and has done more then enough for his homeland already."
<br>
<br>
Many other leading personalities in the country protested against the possible charges, and Divac's former teammates also expressed outrage, including national team guard Marko Jaric of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
<br>
<br>
"This is like some kind of bad dream," Jaric said. "I mean, I know I can expect really strange things from my country, but this is unbelievable. Vlade is a living legend. He is more popular then any of our presidents, and he did so many things for Serbia & Montenegro that I can't believe someone raised this question and started investigating this. It's unbelievable, really."
<br>
<br>
Men in Serbia & Montenegro between the ages of 18 and 35 years of age must serve six months in the military, or work nine months for the country in a non-military capacity.
<br>
<br>
A law is expected to be introduced for men who live abroad, allowing them to pay a fee or to be awarded an amnesty from military service if the person can prove he has demonstrated good works in the name of the state in another way.
<br>
<br>
Divac gave a short statement for Serbian state television on Thursday before his meeting with defense minister Zoran Stankovic.
<br>
<br>
"I'm really grateful for the institutions of my homeland who did their best to fix my reputation in the world," Divac said in the statement.
<br>
<br>
Divac averaged 11.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.4 blocks in 1,134 NBA games. He ended his career as one of only three players in NBA history (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon) to amass 13,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocked shots.
<br>
<br>
Los Angeles used the 26th pick in the 1989 draft to select Divac, who had to fill the big shoes of Abdul-Jabbar. He managed to make the All-Rookie team in 1989-90 and helped the Lakers reach the 1991 Finals.
<br>
<br>
The Lakers traded Divac to the Hornets in 1996 for the draft rights to Kobe Bryant. Divac played with the Hornets for two seasons before signing with Sacramento, where he played six seasons. He signed as a free agent with Los Angeles before the 2004-05 season, but injuries limited him to just 15 games.

여백의 미가 필요.. ㅋ
디박이 지금까지 올릭픽등 여러 국제대회에서 국가를 위해 뛴걸 생각하면 저런 이유가 아니더라도 병역특례 받을 자격은 충분히 되겠죠.
스토야코비치가 세르비아랑 터키 이중국적이어서 터키 군대에 갔었던걸로 기억하는데...
터키가 아니라 그리스.. 그리스.. 그리스.. 그리스.. 그리스.. 그리스..
디박의 병역은 문제가 없는데 무사시의 편파판정은 조낸 문제많음
저도 그렇다고 생각합니다.. 일본 장난?.
어차피 4강에서 혼났자나여 ㅋㅋ 최홍만 너무 아까비.......
무사시 니킥맞고 실신할땐 한일전에서 골넌것만큼 통쾌했음~ㅋㅋㅋ
