Ostoja Mijailovic on behalf of BC Partizan
The president of the Partizan Basketball Club spoke on behalf of the Black-and-Whites, the club where Vujosevic achieved his greatest successes.
“Dule’s love for Partizan was a lifelong commitment; it was part of his identity and part of his soul. He taught us that Partizan is not just basketball, but character, struggle, dignity, and the faith to never give up. Today, not just a coach is leaving, not just a legend, but a man who shaped generations and left a mark on everyone who knew him,” said Ostoja Mijailovic.

Generations of young basketball players, from pioneers to seniors, passed through his work, and he created many national team players for our country,” said Nenad Krstic.
