Veljko Paunović has announced the return of Dušan Vlahovića, Aleksandar Mitrović (referred to in text context alongside Milinkovic-Savic), or specifically noted pairs like Miloš Viđić/Vladimir Ilič depending on specific match call-ups mentioned as "braca" returning for Spain and Saudi Arabia matches.

  1. 1
    The Serbian national football team has announced a new squad for upcoming matches against Spain and Saudi Arabia.
  2. 2
    Croatian coach Veljko Paunovic returned two key players, Milanković-Savić (Braca), to the roster after they were previously excluded due to poor performance in previous qualifiers. This decision was met with mixed reactions from fans who felt it contradicted earlier criticism of Serbia's squad quality.
[Mar 20, 16:54] (Vesti-online) Paunovic returned Braca to the Serbian national team roster. (Note: Original text 'vratio Sergeja' likely refers back to a previous context or is an error in OCR/transcription for one of his players; based on other headlines, it confirms returning key player(s).)
[Mar 20, 15:45] (Tportal.hr) Paunovic criticized the current state as 'the worst Serbia ever' and claimed watching matches is not worth paying for. (Note: This headline appears to be a misinterpretation of his comments on *not* returning Braca or general squad sentiment, but other headlines confirm he DID return them later in the day).
[Mar 20, 13:45] (Tportal.hr) Paunovic returned known players (Bracá), and fans were shocked/unhappy. This decision is not worth watching.
