Superliga fixtures list was the subject of some notable changes, the League Director Vladimir Bulatović informed the clubs this morning.
Second part of the season will kick off on 18 February as planned, but he has still left the window open for some late changes due to the very cold weather. This might see the opening day delayed until 25 February.
Bulatović's statement also reveals some changes in Matchdays 24 and 25. The games originally sheduled for Wednesday, 1 March are moved to Saturday, 4 March, while the games of the Matchday 25 are now to be played on Wednesday, 8 March.
As a result of all these alterations, the 153rd Eternal Derby is also moved to Saturday, 4 March 2017. This promises to be a big day as the red-and-whites will host their rivals on the day Crvena zvezda celebrate 72 anniversary of the club's foundation!
