Another success was the entry into the UEFA Champions League in the following season .
After his successful guest appearance in Austria, he moved to SC Freiburg in the German Bundesliga for two years . There he came on 45 missions and scored 5 goals for the Breisgauer. After his stay in Germany, he went back to Salzburg for a year.
Jura took part with the Croatian national football team in the 1996 European Championship in England , where he played three games and received a yellow card. He played a total of 19 international matches in his career, in which he scored two goals.
