Sweden, the Netherlands, then Montenegro - young goalkeeper Benjamin Kriještarac will wear the Bokelj jersey in the new season.

Until recently, a member of our country's youth national team came to Kotor from NEK Nijmegen - a member of the Eredivisie, where he arrived last summer from AIK Stockholm.

This 20-year-old was born in the Swedish city of Uppsala, near Stockholm, but decided to defend the colors of Montenegro, where his parents are from.

He often showed his talent in the youth team of Montenegro, and it is also evident that he is the first winner of the "Matija Šarkić" award, which the Football Association of Montenegro has been awarding since last year to the most promising goalkeepers in our country.

He will have the opportunity to make his debut in the Meridianbet First Montenegrin League on Sunday when Bokelj plays away against Jezera. In the Kotor club, he will once again work with Slobodan Drašković, who was his coach in the youth categories of Montenegro.
