In the Israeli championship, the title was successfully defended for the thirteenth time in a row, while in the top European division ULEB Euroleague 2006/07 in the quarter-final series in a remake of the previous year's final game against defending champion PBK CSKA Moscow . Then his compatriot Luka Pavićević brought him as the new coach of Alba Berlin to the German Bundesliga club for the 2007/08 BBL season . But in the preparation for the season Jeretin seriously injured his knee and subsequently did not play a championship game in that season, as the contingent of foreign players was exhausted due to late registrations. In the following season 2008/09 he played under the Serbian coach Saša Obradović at the Ukrainian runner-up from Kiev . In February 2009 he moved to Cyprus to Proteas AEL in Limassol , where he reached the final four of the EuroChallenge with Goran Nikolić, who was also born in Nikšić and who was active at Alba in the 2007/08 season , where they finished fourth.
