National team career

Until the 2005 World Cup in Tunisia, he was the only player who could take this position for Croatia, as he was the only left-hander next to Mirza Džomba , who plays on the right winger . Since that tournament he can be replaced by Denis Buntić . In the last five tournaments he always made it to at least the semi-finals with Croatia. In 2003 in Portugal (World Cup) and 2004 in Athens (Olympia) he even won the gold medal with the team.
