He played 7 games in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying but after Miroslav Blažević became coach, he dropped from the squad. After showing good form for Borac Banja Luka in the domestic league in 2011, he was recalled by coach Safet Sušić for the match against Romania in March.[1] He was again called up for the matches against Romania away and Albania at home in June, and responded by scoring his first goal for the national team, against Albania.[2]
