- Did you find Srna and Pletikos in Shakhtar?.

- Yes! I was the sports director of Hajduk. I was friends with his father, Dario, who asked me to help his son, even when Dario was 15 years old. And I'm very happy that at one time I convinced him to go to Shakhtar.

- Why did not Pletikosa develop in Donetsk, unlike Srna?.

- In my deep conviction, the problem of Pletikosa was only one thing: he went to Shakhtar with the thoughts that in a year or two he would play in Europe. In one day I was able to inform Dario that if Mr. Akhmetov is like your second father, then this is your home, always appreciate it and give your soul to Shakhtar. - in every life situation, treat as if you will be here your whole life.

- How did Croatia react to Srna's doping?.

- It is very sad.

Because the whole of Croatia knows the attitude of Dario to his people. He is a universal favorite. I do not know what really happened there, but I hope this is not a Dario error.

- Do you think Srna will ever coach the Croatian national team?.

- Hard to tell. I think that he would gladly accept this offer. And I think he can have such an opportunity, because Dario has great authority among the Croatian leadership. But, of course, first he must finish his playing career.
