Jankovic: “I would like to play for Serbia, but Greece was then my only choice”

Interview at Meridian Sport gave him Vlando Jankovic And he said that if he returned the time back he might have chosen to play for Serbia instead of Greece. The 35 -year -old forward of Peristeri never played after 2015 with the Greek coat of arms.

“I was born in Serbia, my parents are from there. I wanted to play in National Serbia, I didn’t choose Greece, but then it was the only choice for me. Before my father died, there was a discussion about whether to play about Serbia or Greece. Unfortunately he passed away when I was 16 years old. Greece was then my only choice and I accepted it. If I could go back in time I would like to decide for me more experienced, not to make the decision as a 16 -year -old“, He said.

At the same time, he estimated that Serbia had the first reason to win the forthcoming Eurobasket. “It is time for Serbia to take Eurobasket. France has many absences, Greece will not be so strong without Papagiannis and Rogavopoulos, Germany will not have Wagner. For me Serbia is a favorite“, He said.

Finally, he expressed a desire to close his career at Panionios, which was not possible to do this year. “This will be the 20th season in my career as a professional. I signed a new contract with Peristeri. If it’s not my last year, I’m close to the end. My desire was to finish my career at Panionios. I don’t know if it will be, if I will play one more year. Unfortunately, Luca Pavitsevic or someone else in Panionios did not decide to take me. It doesn’t matter, we are moving forward“He said, showing a little complaint.
