The curiosity of this group is that every team has still the chance to make it through to the next round. It is really possible that in the end the head-to-head results will decide about the final rankings. Even the Ukraine could go trough in case of a win by big margin against two-time Olympic and one-time world champion Croatia and a French victory over Serbia. France, however, could get in trouble if they fail to clinch a point in their last encounter, so every team has to take their matches seriously.
In addition, Hungarian fans may have to bid farewell to those players who play in Hungarian clubs, since Bogdan Radivojevic of PICK Szeged and Vladimir Cupara of Telekom Veszprém have to win with the Serbian team to keep their hopes alive. Quotes from EHF official page:
