Bojan Djordic in Expressen :

"I got called to a meeting at the federation in Belgrade. They informed me about the new rules for changing national teams.

"National team coach Ilja Petkovic explained that there is a place for me in the senior side."

"Before, I have always intended to play for Sweden. But now I am hesitant.

"I will never reach the national team for Sweden.

"I will consider the offer from Serbia and Montenegro until January 1. It's a big personal challenge to take a place in a national team with many stars..

The 21-year-old has played seven times for the Swedish Under-21 side, but feels he is being ignored by Under-21 coach Torbjorn Nilsson.

"I am dropped and forgotten and it's judged that I do not belong in the 20-man Under-21 squad.

"Nobody is getting in touch. It feels like the national team coach does not care about me.

"I feel really well and enjoy myself excellently at Crvena Zvezda and in Belgrade." (During recent loan spell)
