If he thinks it was his… destiny to fight in Panionios: “I don’t know how I would characterize it. However, I feel that at the time it was the best for me because of the history of Panionios and the prospect of this team. Something is going to create something very nice and big and I’m really glad to be a member of this team and what is going to be done. ”

On how much the discussions lasted: “Okay, what counts is that I am a Panion player anymore. The truth is I talked to Coach Pavisevic sometimes. And I now came back from vacation, so all the understanding had to be made from a distance. I was in Japan, which is 6 hours ahead of Greece, so it was a little difficult to understand. In the end I am very happy to make this decision and I am really looking forward to starting the year. ”

For the pressure when you fight in Panionios: “I really know what Panionios means. I was born in Brahami, from a young age when I was on Saturn we played opponents with Panionios constantly, I have played in “A. Varikas” and in the closed Artakis. Every big and historical team has the pressure with it, it doesn’t happen otherwise. So you learn to live with it, with its good and bad. I am completely aware. I know where I’m coming. ”

For Panion’s aspirations next season: “It’s too early to discuss what will happen. Certainly the road will not be easy. Panionios has passed a lot in recent years as we know, but the important thing is that the soul of the team is alive. The world, the jersey, inspire you all. It’s very beautiful, which I look forward to living. ”

Whether Panionios chose the Eurocup and because there is … a connection to the Euroleague: “He certainly played a very important role. The point is that it is again a new European beginning for Panionios. We have to be competitive and play basketball, as it is worth in such a historical team. ”

For double obligations within the week: “The truth is that the requirements are high. The Eurocup becomes more and more difficult every year. But, okay, which player doesn’t prefer most games to workouts? It is a “bet” to be able to be as competitive as possible with the double matches as possible and we can find as high as we can. ”

If he thinks about becoming … a slogan in the mouth of the world of Panion: “I don’t want to think about it yet, I don’t want to get on such paths from now on. What people should be sure of to see from me is a militant soul that will fight for every phase and give it all. I can promise this. ”

Whether he sees Panionios as an opportunity to highlight more leadership features: “I never like to say big words. I really see it something like this and he certainly played his role in my decision. After a full year in Greece Europe, I feel even more confident about myself. I think I can help the team even more. ”

For the gold medals he won with the national U18 and U20: “They were really terrible times, which have been imprinted in our minds, in our lives so deep. We wonder when they pass and we remember them. ”

For Luca Pavisevic: “The truth is, I don’t know him personally, we’ve just talked and got to know each other. They are one of the most recognizable and successful figures in international basketball. In Alba he had managed to get the double, in recent years he was in Asia. And in Panionios his career was extremely successful, he has won championships in Montenegro. He is an experienced technician who can only do good in the team. It can connect its name again to the return of Panionios. “
