In the 2012/13 season he ran for Union Leoben . However, his contract was not extended by moving to Tatabánya KC . After only one year in Hungary Djukic was signed by Union St. Pölten and thus again by a club of the Handball League Austria . In the basic season of the 2014/15 season , the St. Pölten player scored 117 goals and thus became the top scorer ex aequo with Sasa Barisic-Jaman . In the summer of 2015, the backcourt player was signed by Handball Tirol for two years . However, the contract was terminated in January 2017. At the same time, Union Leoben announced that Djukic had been signed for the remainder of the 2016/17 season . The backcourt player ran for Lebeon until the 2018/19 season before ending his career as a player.

For the Austrian national team , he scored 68 goals in 79 international matches.
