Serbia is in a group with the Netherlands, Hungary and Greece, while the second group includes Italy, Croatia, Spain and the USA. In the first round, Serbia plays the Netherlands, followed by matches with Greece and Hungary. <\/p>\n\n
After the matches in the qualifying round in two groups, the competition will continue again in two groups. The first will consist of the two top teams from each qualifying group, the second will consist of the remaining teams. Points are not carried over. The five most successful teams will compete in the final tournament in Sydney. <\/p>\n\n
In other words, the participants of the first group are safe travelers to Sydney, while only the winner of the second group will be able to participate in the final competition. The sixth participant is the host country Australia, while the remaining two will arrive from Division 2, whose competition will be held in Malta with the participation of 23 teams. <\/p>\n\n
