Hockey is a solid top 20 Crvena Zvezda department, sounds about right for the KHL.

I suppose if the KHL were to look to expand to Europe then Serbia makes sense. The article though sounds more like KHL are sending resources to help with Serbian Hockey in general which is also a good thing

Is it politically incorrect to just say "Red Star" anymore?

In the sense that in soccer the original Red Star is that of Paris.

I hope Zvezda enters the league and KHL helps Serbian hockey. They have so much more potential than my country (Croatia).

I think football team also goes by 'Crvena Zvezda'.

I think all their sport clubs go by that now.

UPD from Morozov. The KHL will talk to Crvena Zvezda in December again. Step № 2 are discussions about Belgrade (former Štark) Arena reconstruction.

Just so for the record there are two professional basketball teams playing both the ABA as well as the EuroLeague all winter at the arena. This week alone that's four home games, having at times to use other venues as things are now.

You are not Christopher Columbus who has just discovered the Americas. Do you think that your recent discovery about two Belgrade basketball clubs are something new for Crvena Zvezda management and/or KHL leadership? Really? If they have jumped on that train, they had preliminary talks with everybody, including basketball teams, arena owner and local authorities.

I am not claiming anything about reconstruction, expansion or so. I am just amazed how naived are some guys here.

There will be modernization in some form coming up, but it does not create any more openings for hockey. The only arena for that is the ice venue of the Hala Pionir which was upgraded together with the main arena (which in turn is a secondary venue for the basketball teams) some years ago.
