In the group stage of the men's basketball team in the European Championship, Serbia beat the Czech Republic 82-60. After the game, Jovic was interviewed.

Talking about the Heat's No. 20 pick Yakujonis, Jovic said: "I know his playing style very well. I have paid attention to him when he was in college because he and my close friend Tomislav Ivesic are teammates —  It is precisely because of this relationship that I have watched a lot of his games."

At the same time, Jovic also said that he was a little surprised to see Yakujonis drop to the 20th pick in the draft. Jovic said: "I was really surprised when we picked him (the Heat), because I thought he would be the top 10 pick. But it was undoubtedly a great choice for us. He is a very good player. I haven't talked to him yet, but I can't wait to see him play. And I believe he will be a very important part of our team."
