Marko Janković Awarded Honorary Prize of His Birthplace

"Qarabağ" defensive midfielder Marko Janković has been awarded the honorary prize of his birthplace, Cetinje (Montenegro).

Idman.Biz reports that Marko Janković himself shared the information on his "Instagram" page.

It should be noted that this honorary award called "Plaketa Prijestonice Cetinje" is presented by the Cetinje city administration, the historical capital of Montenegro, to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the development of the city.

"The most difficult and at the same time the greatest honor is to be recognized in your own country. The award presented by the Cetinje city administration is an appreciation of the path, work, and determination I have built outside the borders of my country. This award is both a great honor and an obligation for me - because I must live up to this trust by striving for greater and better results, knowing that it is not easy to be recognized in a strong competition where bright athletes make up the majority.

I dedicate this award to my coaches, Nikola Nino Milanović and Marko Marković, who taught me the first steps in Cetinje, as well as to my family, who are the foundation of everything. Great roads often start from muddy fields, and without those beginnings, there would be no results today.

I also express my deep gratitude to Mayor Nikola Djurašković, hoping that better results will continue on this path where I represent our city and state," M. Janković noted in his post.
