There is no doubt that it will be celebrated deep into the night, but also in the following days. And in a few days, plans for the next season will be forged, because according to the announcements of the ambitious president Vladimir Rosić, the ultimate goal is not the Second League, but the First League of Republika Srpska! The information about the recently established technical and business cooperation with the Belgrade giant, Crveni zvezda, shows how seriously Napried works.
As a reminder, Naprijed was in third place in the half-season, behind Lijevč and Plamen, but with the arrival of Anđelić, a complete turnaround took place, the team from Banja Luka took the leading position and did not drop it until the last match of the season.
