[edit] Under 21 level

He was part of the Serbian and Montenegrin 2004 Olympic football team that exited in the first round, finishing fourth in Group C behind gold-medal winners Argentina, Australia and Tunisia.

In November 2005, Stepanov played in a two match qualification playoff for the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Portugal, contested between Serbia and Croatia. He scored an important first leg goal helping Serbia win the tie.

In late May and early June 2006, he was an integral part of the Serbia-Montenegro u-21 side that reached the semifinal stage in Portugal. Most pundits agreed Stepanov was the team's most consistent performer with a string of confident defensive displays throughout the tournament.
