As Mujanovic is currently in the position of team manager of the BiH women’s national team, and the “Dragons,” as all BiH national teams are called affectionately, need reinforcements before the continuation of the qualification for the European Championship, the legendary basketball player decided to take matters into her own hands.

Mujanovic paid FIBA 3,000 Swiss francs (some 6,000 Bosnian marks) so that the player Jovana Mandic would immediately get the right to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
