Croatia secured third place in Group D in Tallinn on Wednesday, while the outcome of Group B in Ostrava on Thursday kept Slovenia in second place.

On the last day of the group stage in Ostrava, Bulgaria first defeated Belarus 3-1 (25-13, 25-18, 24-26, 25-22), and then Italy was better than the host Czech Republic 3-1 (25-20, 25-21, 23-25, 25-22). Italy thus confirmed first place in the group with all five victories, Slovenia and Bulgaria achieved a win-loss ratio of 3-2, but Slovenia won nine and Bulgaria eight points, so Slovenia took second place and Bulgaria third place.

Montenegro remained at the bottom with all five defeats.

France kept a clean slate in Group D in Tallinn; the Tokyo Olympic champions in the last match defeated the hosts Estonia 3-0 (25-18, 25-17, 25-19) and thus knocked them out of the championship. The second place with a 4-1 ratio was confirmed by Germany, who beat Slovakia 3-2 (25-20, 25-17, 25-27, 25-27, 15-9), Croatia is third with a 3-2 ratio, while the defeats of Estonia and Slovakia benefited Latvia, which took fourth place with a 1-4 ratio and five points and will play in the round of 16 against Italy. The 5th-placed Slovakia has the same ratio as Latvia, but with fewer points, and Estonia finished their performance at the European Championships.
