Although Knežević will be fined by her club, in Podgorica are hoping that the imminent suspension will not exceed a one-match ban.
Milena Knežević issued an apology over the her misconduct during the EHF Women’s Champions League match, in which Budućnost hosted Györ.
Unsportsmanlike conduct ruins the spectacle: Why did Knežević hit Görbicz?
“Dear Anita, i take this opportunity to apologize to you personally, as well as my own club, which I hold in highest regard. My apologies also go to the widespread audience, who had witnessed the unsportsmanlike conduct I made last night. Unfortunately, my misconduct did not only serve to hurt myself, but many people I truly and deeply respect, including you. I am aware that my behavior was inexcusable, but I kindly ask you to accept my most sincere apology, and understand that I sincerely regret what I did. My behavior in the last night’s match did not do any justice to show the real me, and I am going to do whatever is in my power to prevent it from eventually undoing anything good I have ever done for sport. I am aware of the effort it’s going to take, but I am up to the challenge, just like I was many times before. I hope that this will make me into a stronger person, and that I will have the opportunity to show everyone the real Milena Knežević- a sportswomen who truly respects fair-play and lives and breathes this wonderful sport. “ Said Budućnost back-court player on her Facebook profile.
Györ governing body had filed a complaint to the EHF and the suspension is imminent for Milena. Although Knežević will be fined by her club, in Podgorica are hoping that the forthcoming suspension will not exceed a one-match ban.

Problem is that Knezevic had not just this one attack.

Dear Milena,
I do really like absurdist humour and used to flatter myself by thinking that I actually understand it. However, your recent words forced me to realize my limits in this issue.
I am going to do whatever is in my power to prevent myself thinking that your letter serves only to reduce the damage that your actions did. I am aware of the effort it’s going to take, but I am up to the challenge, just like I was many times before. I hope that this will make me into a stronger person.
I would be very happy to see you finding the handball player in yourself again and getting rid of the unsportsmanlike attitude that you definitely kept showing during the last years.
