“It was around 3pm when i fell asleep in my room. About a half an hour later, a strong gasping woke me up. When i opened my eyes i was shocked. I saw a guy on his knees, above me, fornicating over my body. I started screaming, and he ran away”, said Mateja Rajkovic.
Inspite of the incident, Croatian players managed to qualify for the European Championship. Later, they have found that the guy took 50 euros from the room.
“It is not about the money. It could have ended much worse. I could have been raped. It might be the guy who killed the Mexican girl in Split. What if he broke into the the Portugese girls’apartment? Or Romanian, or British…? It would have been a much wider incident. Some people from the Croatian Volleyball federation told me to keep silent till the end of the tournament. I couldn’t believe that. It should be announced everywhere. After all, i think the Croatian national team didn’t deserve to be in the bungalows without any security. Where were the gards? After the incident, they have tranfered me. And you know where? Into a neighboring bungalow! This is outrageous!” concluded Mateja Rajkovic.
