Đorđe Nikolić stands alone

One of our own: Uros Markovic joins the Cukaricki first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Uros Markovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

- Market Marko Sergej steps up from the Cukaricki academy
- Boardroom Nobody left the Cukaricki dressing room in a hurry
