It was expected that the FIA European Hill Climb Champion, Dusan Borkovic, becomes the athlete of the year in the City of Pancevo in 2012.. “This award means a lot to me, because throughout the season I tried my best to present City of Pancevo in the best light,” said the young race car driver.
”Certainly, this award means to me almost as much as the European championship trophy does, which I have received in November. I tried to present the City of Pancevo and myself the best I can and I hope that I have succeeded” said Borkovic.
