Nikola regularly plays commander and he is also very proud of his Legacy Cube, which he is collecting and editing for years.

Vule, We have judged a couple of tournaments yet, and I’m watching you thrive as a judge. You are going in the right direction, and whether your ambitions are going towards level two or not, it will happen naturally to you. You have done great job with the deck checks on our National. We performed a lot of them and every single one was in time. That helped, also, for the whole Nationals to run in reasonable time. I’m sure, now, that every tournament with you on the floor would be run smooth and professional. Keep on going! 🙂

Pohvale za pokazanu inicijativu i odlicno vodjenje drafta na WMCQu prosli mjesec. Obzirom da je sam draft vec u startu malo kasnio, cijeli turnir bi definitivno duze drajao da se nisi ponudio pomoci sa prozivanjem vremena za pikove na stolovima koji nisu bili u stanju cuti HJa.

and in case you can’t understand  here is the translation

Commendations for shown initiative and excellent handling of the draft on WMCQ last month. Considering that the draft was running a bit late, the whole tournament would have went far over schedule had you not offered to help by calling time for picks on the tables that were unable to hear the HJ.

Nikola, You have recently judged our National Championship. I know that you have judged couple PPTQs before and that this was more or less first major event for you. You have performed great and what impressed me the most was the calmness with which you handled multiple questions from players throughout the day. You have shown great professionalism and good approach to handling issues as well as regular tasks, so with that in mind I would like to give you this recognition. Have a good one!
