When the Hungarian team was finally looking for an experienced goalkeeper at the side of Nándor Fazekas for the upcoming men's handball world championship 2007 in Germany , they asked Nenad Puljezević after Šterbik's rejection. He agreed, but only received his new passport two days before departure for Germany. At the World Cup he showed a strong performance and was instrumental in the Hungarian move into the main round.
