Marko Jankovic receives award from his hometown - PHOTO

"Qarabağ" midfielder Marko Jankovic has been awarded an honorary award from his hometown of Cetinje (Montenegro).

Idman.Biz reports that Marko Jankovic 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 people 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 one's own country. The award presented by the Cetinje city administration is an appreciation of the path, work and dedication that 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 greater 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 Milanovic and Marko Markovic, who taught me my first steps in Cetinje, as well as to my family, which is the foundation of everything. Great roads often start from muddy fields, and without those beginnings, there would be no results today.

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