We need to win against France and I am sure that in the locker room we will speak a lot about how to do it on Monday. We will never give up, to be Serbian is the proudest thing in the world for me. We will keep fighting for Serbia.

This game is as tight on the court as it is exciting seen from the tribunes. Both teams' defence are in place and few are the opportunities to score. So far, Croatia have been just a little bit more efficient, but defensively, not offensively. They grabbed a couple of balls which allowed them to score fastbreaks. But expect the derby to be a tight affair all the way until the 60th minute!

The two medal contenders, Spain and Sweden, are entertaining the fans with all you could expect from a match like this: individual world class from the likes of Swedish mastermind Jim Gottfridsson, speed from both sides, tactical variations like the difference both sides use their line players, and the efficiency of Spain's counter-attacks. The defending champions counted on a strong goalkeeper Rodrigo Corrales and turnover to pull ahead to a three-goal advantage.

It’s a true Balkan derby here in Debrecen. Energy and passion from both teams can really be felt in the Fonix Aréna. The Macedonian fans are pumping the atmosphere for their team who are trailing by one. and coach Kiril Lazarov is trying to find the perfect line up to catch up with Montenegro. Maybe the comeback of Nikola Mitrevski between the posts will do the trick.

I have played some top games like Barça against Ciudad Real, but this really is another level. We expect a very heated game, with the fans in the stands to push both sides. Even though I am not Serbian, I can feel there is this special mood among my players. I have crossed paths with famous Serbian players in my career, such as Dejan Peric, Nenad Perunisic or Petar Nenadic, and they all told me that the derby was the game not to lose.
