On Saturday, April 26, 2025, the third Sertini Open badminton tournament was held in Doboj under the symbolic name NO DIFFERENCE. The event brought together almost 80 competitors from six cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, and in the sports hall of the Vuk Stefanovi\u0107 Karad\u017ei\u0107 Elementary School there was an atmosphere that is difficult to describe in words – full of adrenaline, support, smiles and inclusion. <\/p>\n
The tournament was played on four courts, and competitors competed in different categories: from beginners to veterans. What sets this tournament apart from others is its inclusive message and support for the community \u2013 children with developmental disabilities were not participants, but they were an important part of the organization and a symbol of the tournament. As true little hosts, with their presence and engagement they showed that sport belongs to everyone. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis tournament is not just a sports competition, but a platform that brings people together, breaks down barriers and celebrates diversity. Our message is clear \u2013 there is no difference in sports, we are all the same on and around the field,\u201d said organizer and one of the program hosts, Dario Mila\u010dak, along with his colleague Sa\u0161a Klopi\u0107.<\/p>\n
The tournament paid special attention to the ladies, and thanks to its partner Libresse, each lady received a symbolic token of appreciation. MF Banka also provided valuable prizes for the best competitors and especially supported the participation of the strongest children of Doboj \u2013 children with disabilities who showed tremendous spirit and strength. <\/p>\n
In addition to sporting excitement, the event is complemented by rich content – a raffle, gifts, food and drinks, professional photo and video material (Sale and Georgije), and a gallery of images that will remain as a memory. More than 50 sponsors and partners stood behind the idea of \u200b\u200bDoboj becoming the center of the badminton community and an inclusive sports story. <\/p>\n
The tournament also served as preparation for major international competitions \u2013 Serbian Youth International 2025 and ADA Badminton League, where the best representatives will wear the colors of their club and city.<\/p>\n
