Red Star have also won the Serbian League already with direct entry to next season's UCL group stages.
FCK are in a tight battle with Nordsjalland to win the Superliga and even if they do win, the Danish champions have to then battle through 3 rounds of qualifying from memory to reach the UCL proper. Someone far smarter than me will be able to explain why Serbia gets an automatic UCL group stage spot, and Denmark doesn't.
But yeah the jury is out which is better for Stamenic's development. The Danish league is more level as a whole. End of the Danish regular season only 15 points, separated the top 9 teams. Meanwhile in Serbia, Red Star finished the regular season 20 pts clear of 2nd!
If Stamenic just ends up a squaddie in Belgrade, not makng UCL squads, only getting a game when Red Star play the easy beats of Serbia - then it won't be great. Fingers crossed that's not what pans out.
