Relegation Playoffs

edit

The 13th placed team of the First Division season and the runners-up of the Second Division season should play in the Qualifiers for a spot in the next First Division season. That team should have been Split.

However, because of the rule that no more than 5 teams from the same country could participate in ABA league, and since Serbian team Zlatibor is the champion of the ABA League Second Division, relegation playoffs will be played between them and the lowest ranked Serbian team in the ABA League First Division (Borac Čačak).
