Numerous friends, teammates, football players and sports workers gathered to pay their last respects to him and remember his contribution to sports, but also the humanity he owed to everyone who knew him.
The commemoration was also attended by Milorad Dodik, who entered the Book of Mourning.
The commemoration was also attended by the president of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vico Zeljković, the president of FK Borac Zvjezdan Misimović, the vice-president Bogoljub Zeljković, the mayor of Banja Luka, Draško Stanivuković, and many others.
– Unfortunately, that big tragedy happened where we heard and saw each other and joked before the game. You will always remain in my memory as a great worker, a great man and a great gentleman. You had great quality, the injury hindered a bit, but you made it to the national team. I had the honor of meeting you as a coach where we celebrated European successes together. Unfortunately, you left too soon – said Zvjezdan Misimović, president of Borac Football Club.
Mladen Žižović, the coach of Radnička from Kragujevac and former strategist of Borc Banja Luka, died on November 3 after he suddenly collapsed next to the bench during the first half of the Serbian Super League match between Mladost from Lučani and Radnička.
The funeral of the footballer and coach will be held on Thursday at 1 pm at the City Cemetery in Bijeljina.
