Marko Janković, the defensive midfielder of "Qarabag", has been awarded an honorary award from his hometown of Cetinje (Montenegro).

Idman.Biz reports that Marko Janković himself shared this 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 hardest 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 a recognition of the path, work, and dedication I have built outside the borders of my country. This award is both a great honor and an obligation for me - because I have to justify this trust by striving for bigger and better results, knowing that it is not easy to be recognized in a strong competition where brilliant athletes make up the majority.

I dedicate this award to my coaches Nikola Nino Milanović and Marko Marković, who taught me my 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 current results.

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