He coached the Yugoslavian senior and youth women’s teams of the Red Star Belgrade, Kovin and Buducnost, winning a total of five senior titles, six Yugoslavian Cups, eleven Under 18, and seven Under 16 Yugoslavian titles. With the former Yugoslavia and then Serbia and Montenegro Women’s National teams, he won one sil- ver medal at the FIBA European Championship with the senior team, and two silver and one bronze medal with the Under 18 teams at the FIBA World Championships, one gold medal and one bronze medals at the European Championships. He also won two bronze medals with the Under 16 team at the FIBA European Championships. The breakup of former Yugoslavian Republics caused a number of new independent states to appear in the Balkans. All former Federal Republics had by now established their own autonomous state, barring Serbia and Montenegro, which stayed together. The very succes- sful method of work we used until then in the basketball area has changed. Now, we have a much smaller base of players to choose from, and the requirements of com- peting on the highest level are increasing. When I became a coach of youth teams, I decided to use the same training approach for all the different age national teams.
