Faced with fierce competition which included 180 participants from all over the country, Aleksandar attained 64 points and qualified for the national competition, which will take place in May.

With expert guidance and motivation courtesy of geography teacher Ivan Matejić, Aleksandar was able to prepare, and demonstrate his exquisite knowledge of geography, proving that his hard work and perseverance truly qualify him for the national level reserved only for the best of the best.

Congratulations and a reward are in order
