Andrej Stojakovic, son of Peja Stojakovic and holder of both Greek and Serbian passports, is weighing whether to represent Greece or Serbia in FIBA competitions, with Greece and GM Nikos Zisis actively recruiting him.
Andrej Stojakovic, son of former Serbian NBA star Peja Stojakovic, is facing a big decision: which national team will he represent in FIBA competitions? Greece is actively trying to recruit him.
Born in Greece to a Greek mother, Andrej holds both Greek and Serbian passports, allowing him to play for either country.
According to SDNA, Greek national team general manager Nikos Zisis recently traveled to the U.S. to meet the 21-year-old guard at the University of Illinois.
The young player remains undecided, but the Greek team is optimistic he will choose to wear its colors, per the report. Ultimately, however, the final decision rests with Andrej himself.
This season at Illinois, Stojakovic is averaging 13.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1 assist per game.
If he joins the national team, he would play as a Greek, not as a naturalized player.
As previously reported by SDNA in 2025, Andrej had been leaning toward representing Greece.
