Without much sponsorship of war-impoverished country, the national team made its comeback to the international scene at the EuroBasket 1995 in Greece, where it won the gold medal after defeating Lithuania in the final game. At the 1996 Summer Olympics, the team lost with 69–95 to the United States in the gold-medal game. Then, the national team won the gold medal at the EuroBasket 1997, 1998 FIBA World Cup, the bronze medal at the EuroBasket 1999 and then once again gold medal at the EuroBasket 2001.
