Stojanov and his coaching staff made the final choices after three days of preparations and three training controls held together with the senior national team, which helped them evaluate players' form and readiness.
The delegation departs tonight by bus for Mostar; an official training session is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and the competitive programme opens on Wednesday.
