History
Basketball beginnings in Čajetina came with the success of amateur sports competition in western Serbia known as the MOSI. Pioneers of basketball in Čajetina, Sead Begović, and Radomir Raković among the others founded KK Zlatibor on 19 September 1979. The first club president was Aleksandar Vasiljević. Most of its history, Zlatibor played in 3rd-tier league West Division with several attempts of attacking 1st place which leads to the higher league. Finally, in 2015 after the win against neighbor-team Priboj from Priboj, the club got promoted to the Second League of Serbia. In the 2016–17 season, Zlatibor won the Second League and got promoted to the Basketball League of Serbia for the 2017–18 season.[2] That year Zlatibor ended up in 4th place which took them to the second phase – Basketball League of Serbia.
