In July 2024 he obtained a place in the 10m air rifle standing SH1 event at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris via the Bipartite Commission slot [wild card] after an application was made by the Montenegrin Paralympic Committee. "I was happy with the news that I will be a participant in the Paralympic Games. One of my biggest sports dreams came true. It is certainly a reward for all the hard work and great sacrifices of the past years. I will try to justify the commission's decision and achieve a good result."
