As a result, the phrase \u201cfull confidence\u201d will not be just a formality. If\u00a0Obradovi\u0107\u00a0decides to withdraw his resignation, he will be given complete authority and full support (in every sense) to part ways with anyone he believes has not justified the trust placed in them through their performances and effort. He would even have the freedom to overhaul the entire roster if necessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"181\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For Partizan, the most important thing right now is to continue working with\u00a0Obradovic, and that was the key message from the meeting of the club\u2019s Executive and Managing Board.<\/p>\n<p><img
