Sonja on the verge of tears, Yvonne spoke Serbian - eruption of emotions on Vidovdan

Several thousand people gathered in front of the famous balcony, probably the balcony with "the most trophies" in the world.
The music program was prepared together with the basketball players, and some songs that were heard tonight in the center of Belgrade, could be heard already during the championship.
Members of the professional staff, physiotherapists, scouts and assistant coaches were the first to appear before the citizens.
Then, one by one, the players from Serbia started coming out. Each received a standing ovation, especially Yvonne Anderson, a naturalized American who won the sympathy of Serbian fans, then Ana Dabovi, Aleksandra Crvendaki, Tina Krajinik, tournament MVP Sonja Vasi, and finally, team's captain Jelena Brooks.
In the end, a huge applause and chanting was reserved for the national coach Marina Maljkovi.

Then the anthem of the Republic of Serbia was sung, which was a particularly emotional moment for many basketball players.
Captain Jelena Brooks was the first to greet the audience, and then Yvonne Anderson said in pure Serbian:
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you very much. Long live Serbia!", the playmaker of Serbia said and delighted the gathered citizens.

Sonja Vasi was on the verge of tears both during the anthem and during her speech, and the coach Marina Maljkovi said:
"These are my Vidovdan champions", which was the introduction to the performance of the song "Vidovdan", presenting the most impressive moment of the reception.
