Partizan assistant coach Branimir Vukasinovic after the game:

-I`d like to seize this opportunity to congratulate Novi Pazar and Partizan players for their display. They showed so much more compared to the things occurring on the stands. Partizan deserved to win this game. This is one heated and uncomfortable ground. I`d also like to remind you Partizan won just one in seven games here prior to today`s encounter. Therefore, this win is even more significant for us. We deserved this due to our desire, willingness and determination. We have our goals and we move forward towards them.
