In the next season Krim Mercator will keep a large part of this year's team, which has already shown great results. In addition, three foreign reinforcements will arrive in Galjevica.

Negotiations with potential reinforcement who will join Sergeja Stefanišin and young Amra Pandžić on goalkeeper position are going on.

"We spent a lot of time searching and negotiating with players which we think can be well integrated into our team. Already this year we had a great team, which was a combination of young and experienced players, Slovenians and foreigners. In the future we will continue to build it up." – said Deja Ivanović.

Because of the economic crisis, club had to ask the players for understanding of the situation and accepting reduced contracts.

"I am very happy that 90 percent of the girls understood the situation and agreed to the reduction. We are still talking with Dijana Golubić and Tanja Oder." - declared first lady of Slovenian Champions.

After this season club will thank for the cooperation to Anja Argenti, Neli Irman, Renata Mörtel and Agnes Triffa. Captain Špela Cerar will end her professional carrier.

Serbian international Dragana Cvijić (18-year old line player), Croatian international Kristina Franić (21-year old back player) and Slovak international Szandra Zacsik (18-year old left back player) will be new reinforcements.

"All three agreements have been concluded and contracts have been signed. Some problems occurred with Zacsik, who has family problems. But the contract is signed, and if she does not come we will take the matter to the EHF and their arbitration bodies." – concluded Ivanović.

Club also wants to sign young and talented Slovenian Alja Koren from Celje.
