Though I had given numerous radio and TV interviews due to my achievements, being nominated for the best athlete of Bosnia & Herzegovina and Republic of Srpska was something special. Here I am together with other 9 top athletes of Republikc of Srpska, by the choice of national newspaper Glas Srpske.

21/Dec/2011 - I'm being awarded with a trophy for 7th place by Olympic gold medalist from 1984 Olympics - Zlatan Arnautovic (handball goalkeeper). It was an honour and a moment of great joy.

The ceremony was aired live on national television, with me pointing my finger at the trophy, hahah.

And here I am together with my proud father :-).

On 3/Jan/2012, I was a guest at a ceremony organised by the President of Republic of Srpska for the best athletes and students.

And a while later, on 12/Jun/2012, a similar ceremony was organised by the Banja Luka City Major as well.

Following my achievements in 2011, I was hoping to get sponsored by the city or at least the cycling club I race for, but all I got was some sort of knee injury that had prevented me from riding until well into the season :-(.

Still, even without any winter preparations and not being in the racing form, I managed to score 2nd place in Elite category at Bosnia & Herzegovina National Road Race Championship on 24/Jun/2012 in Cazin. And I only lost out by a bike length.

The season of 2012 continued with scoring silver medal on National Time Trial Championship and then travelling a bit...

...climbing various mountains...

...as well as podiums :).

And finally - I managed to fulfill the goal I set out for 2012 - winning the National Cycling League in Elite category.

The year of 2013 started very nicely, with winter preparation camp in Igalo, Montenegro...

...for the best cyclists of Republic of Srpska.

We've had a pleasure to train together with Serbian senior national team, as well as junior team later on.

An expensive garage :).
