Any
team with the attacking prowess of Miljkovic, Vujevic
and the Grbic brothers is never short on offensive
power but full compliments have to go to 32-year-old
Dula Mester, one of the most experienced players in the
Serbia and Montenegro lineup, who has consistently been
part of the artillery since he made his international
debut eight years ago.
At 203cm Mester is one of the tallest players in the
Olympic champion's squad and it is this asset, which the
boy from Subotica uses so well. And it isn't only for
launching any one of his array of missile-like spikes.
Mester plays an important role in his defensive role as
the middle blocker but it's his combination and
flexibility to be able to multi task, which is one of
the threads to Serbia and Montenegro's success.
With a younger brigade coming through the ranks Mester
knows full well that he has to be seen as a universal
player and he is filling that role admirably.
With a third Olympic Games as a target, Mester is on
track to be part of the team, which defends Serbia and
Montenegro's (formerly Yugoslavia) gold medal.
