International career[]
Although he was born in Tuzla, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia, he played for the Croatian under-21 team because his mother is a Bosnian Croat. He won six international caps with the team in 1995. Because of this, he was eligible to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and South Korea.
