The final day of competition featured male finals in 13 weight categories at the &#8220;Pendik&#8221; Hall, where <strong>Serbia claimed gold with a victory by Pavle Popovi\u0107.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representing Serbia in the finals were three young aces: <strong>Pavle Popovi\u0107<\/strong> in the 46kg category, <strong>Tarik Ra\u0161ljanin<\/strong> in the 63kg category, and <strong>Andrija Trajkovi\u0107<\/strong> in the 70kg category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">PRO\u010cITAJTE VI\u0160E:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02pceVJg9U23jqVH1cUexjzHevdCyAPivsWAMQzG8MCwoAkvHfUnGBVNcMjZCfp7Qgl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"577\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popovi\u0107&#8217;s Golden Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right at the start of the second session, Popovi\u0107 faced off against Armenia&#8217;s Suren Bablumyan. The young Serbian representative entered the match forcefully, unleashing a series of top-class punches that completely disarmed his opponent. In the end, it was a celebration for the Serbian boxer and a gold medal that propelled him to the top of junior boxing in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I dreamt of this gold, I dedicated every day to standing on the top of the podium, I worked and believed in myself, I succeeded, and my happiness knows no bounds. Thank you to the fans for their support, to the coaches, the selector, my club &#8216;Konstantin&#8217; from Loznica, the Serbian Boxing Federation, and my family. My mother was in the stands, and my father was officially absent. I spoke with him after the match,&#8221; said Popovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serbia Earns Two Silver Medals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serbia&#8217;s <strong>Tarik Ra\u0161ljanin<\/strong> boxed against Russia&#8217;s Maksim Sobolev, delivering an excellent performance, but the Russian ultimately took the gold. The same scenario unfolded in the bout between Serbia&#8217;s <strong>Andrija Trajkovi\u0107<\/strong> and Russia&#8217;s Kiril Minakov. With these results, Serbia also gained two European vice-champions, Tarik and Andrija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the continental championship in the junior category, held at &#8220;Pendik&#8221; Hall, Serbia also secured <strong>five bronze medals<\/strong> through four female boxers: Jovana Devetakovi\u0107 (60kg), Mirjana Mastilovi\u0107 (63kg), An\u0111elina Mileti\u0107 (70kg), and Jovana Damjanovi\u0107 (57kg), and junior Zejd Gici\u0107 (+80kg).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the overall medal standings, Serbia achieved an impressive <strong>fourth position<\/strong>.
