General Interest

General

He has agreed to join Serbian side Novi Beograd for the 2021/22 season. "It is enough of playing abroad. Ferencvarosi [Hungary] was interested, but I decided to come back to Belgrade. I really like the story of Novi Beograd." (blic.rs, 11 Feb 2021)

INTERNATIONAL RETIREMENT PLANS
He plans to retire from international competition after competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I will withdraw from the national team after Tokyo.

We just share everything. Everything is much easier when we are together." (zurnal.rs, 03 Sep 2016; alo.rs, 27 Aug 2016)
