Apart from reorganizing our youth program Niksa will take part in the process of making other crucial decisions such as player transactions, communication with managers and other similar activities. The function which will be covered by Prkacin is extremely vital to us."

Niksa Prkacin released the following statement: "This is my first working day. I came to help my club and that is basically it." Prkacin will be officially announced in Cibona's premises, on Friday at 13.15 CET .
