The men's basketball championship 1995 , officially Eurobasket 1995 , took place from June 21 to July 2, 1995 in Marousi near Athens . It was the 29th European Championships. In contrast to the last tournament, 14 teams took part in the final round. Originally the tournament was to be held with 12 teams, but the lifting of the exclusion of Yugoslavia made a change necessary. The team from "Rest of Yugoslavia", now supported by players from Serbia and Montenegro , became European champions and thus gave the Balkan state its first title win since the loss of its other republics. Lithuania won the silver medal, Croatia took bronze. Defending champion Germany did not make it past the preliminary round.
The European Basketball Championship is a biennial basketball competition between European national teams that is organized by Munich- based FIBA Europe , the European Basketball Association.
