Mijatovic Resigns From Partizan Assembly Too
Predrag Mijatovic has resigned from the Partizan Assembly, three months after stepping down as vice president, formally ending his time at Humska.
The hall at Humska, June 1, votes being counted at the Partizan Assembly. When the chairman read out the result, eleven in favor, twenty against and four abstaining, Predrag Mijatovic had won the confidence needed to become vice president in charge of sporting affairs. Instead of taking the seat, he stood up in front of reporters and immediately gave up the very post he had been handed that same afternoon.
Three months later, the story has reached a formal end. Kurir has learned that on August 31, Mijatovic also resigned from his seat on the Partizan Assembly. He now holds no position at the club whatsoever, neither the one he walked away from in June nor the one he had held on to until now.
Until this past weekend, despite having no executive role, he had remained formally part of the club as a regular Assembly member. That last tie has now been cut, three months and thirty days after the scene in which he congratulated himself on a win he said he did not even like.
Mijatovic joined Partizan on October 21, 2024, as part of the interim group that took over the club. Alongside him at the time were Rasim Ljajic, Danko Lazovic and Milka Forcan. Their positions were not formally confirmed until eight months later, at the club’s Assembly session in June 2025, and just a year after that, following a string of internal and public clashes, Mijatovic became the first of the four to leave.
When he won the vote by the narrowest possible margin back in June, he made no secret of his frustration with the result.
“I scraped through by a hair, by a single vote. Had I known, I would have voted against myself. All of us got through at the Assembly, and that’s abnormal and unsustainable.”
He also explained at the time why he believed a vote of that margin could not serve as a basis for continuing to run the club’s sporting affairs.
“If the board can bring in someone with a different vision, then fine. I can’t continue under these principles.”
Part of his remarks to reporters was devoted to the topics that, he said, had dominated the Assembly debate instead of the sporting plan he had prepared.
“It’s not about whether the support was bigger or smaller. I didn’t even get the chance at the Assembly to present my plan, my sporting plan first and foremost. I was drawn into topics outside my area, like finances, electricity, water. I couldn’t lay out my plan.”
Despite everything, the former Serbia international said he did not regret returning to the club where he once played.
“I don’t regret a single hour spent at the stadium, not for a moment.”
Kurir published the news of the Assembly resignation on Friday morning at 10:59 a.m., reporting that Mijatovic had officially left the club. Espreso, citing the same source, added that it formally closed the book on his time at Humska.
With his name off the list of Assembly members, the chapter that began on October 21, 2024, with the arrival of the interim group is now closed for him. Ljajic, Lazovic and Forcan remain in the positions they were handed on the same day as Mijatovic, and it was Mijatovic himself who, before leaving, said the club needed someone with a different vision for the sporting side of the job. Whether Partizan goes looking for that person before a new season of challenges on multiple fronts gets underway will be shown at the club’s next Assembly.
