A brace, and Stefan Stanisavljević takes the afternoon — 8.59
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Stefan Stanisavljević provided it, and the 8.59 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Terms done: Ajia Yakub is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Smederevo 1924 waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Novi Pazar is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Tempers go at Novi Pazar
Željko Samčović was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Stefan Stanisavljević sends Novi Pazar past Spartak Subotica
It finished 3‑2, and it was Stefan Stanisavljević’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Novi Pazar.

Dinamo Moscow tell Novi Pazar: Milan Majstorović is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
The terraces10 Aug 2026
One of their own: Mihajlo Petković
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Voždovac watching Anes Rušević
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Novi Pazar have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Željko Samčović gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

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