Here's what Mijailovic wrote:

"We have racked up two big victories in Madrid. We are writing new pages in club history, we will not allow one moment to diminish our great success. We've broken all the records, we've pushed the boundaries of basketball, we're going to keep pushing them.

Real Madrid is a friendly club and one of the biggest clubs in the world. Regardless of the unpleasant situation, we will welcome them extremely friendly. We have experienced good moments this season so far, after many years, everything is in our hands, and success awaits us.

Our strongest weapons, besides this great group of guys, are our fans, the best basketball fans in the world!

Let's all welcome Real Madrid. I welcome everyone to Belgrade, the center of European basketball. Long live Partizan!
