[edit] Football career
Bošković started his pro career in 1996 with the Budva outfit FK Mogren, which was competing in lower Yugoslav division at the time. After playing there for two and a half seasons, Branko earned a dream move to Red Star Belgrade in December 1998.
In his four-and-a-half seasons in Belgrade, he twice helped his team win the Serbo-Montenegrin Football League (2000 & 2001), as well as the Serbo-Montenegrin Cup three times in 1999, 2000 & 2002. Additionally, he marked himself out as a talented and creative midfielder with a nose for goal, all of which earned him a series of national team call-ups. Still, his single most famous moment while at Red Star, came in 2002/03 UEFA Cup versus S.S. Lazio when he scored a goal in the return leg.
Bošković's stellar performances at Red Star got him plenty of attention from abroad and he moved to French giants Paris Saint-Germain during summer of 2003, but failed to get a first team place upon arrival. Following the two year stay at PSG (spent mostly out of the first team picture), he accepted a season long loan to play with Troyes where he spent the entire 2005/06 season.
After his loan spell ended, Bošković and PSG parted ways and he spent a six month period without a club.
In January 2007, he signed a contract with Rapid Wien until the end of the 2006/07 season.[1]
He signed a two year extension in March 2008.
[edit] International career
He made his debut for FR Yugoslavia against Brazil, friendly 27 March 2002.
He played his last match against South Korea, friendly 16 November, 2005.
In total he played 12 games (8 were friendlies, 4 were Euro 2004 qualifying), and scored a goal in 1-2 loss against Azerbaijan 11 June, 2003, Euro 2004 qualifying.
He was the member of Montenegro national team, which debut for the nation first match against Hungary in March 2007.
