"The army of Serbia and Montenegro has filed charges
against former NBA star Vlade Divac for allegedly
evading the military draft.
Divac, 37, was obligated by law to join the compulsory
six-month military service by the age of 35, the state
prosecutors' office said Wednesday.
Serbia and Montenegro's foreign ministry was asked
"to determine Divac's citizenship and his home address"
in order to carry out legal proceedings.
According to the Associated Press, Divac could face a
one-year prison sentence in his native country if he does
not join the army soon.
Divac ended his 16-year NBA playing career last month,
taking a job with the Los Angeles Lakers as a liaison
and scout in Europe."
