His words and genuine emotions during the match broadcast on Sport Klub quickly spread across Bosnian-Herzegovinian media, which unanimously thanked him for the way he covered the game. Obrez admits that the public's reaction pleasantly surprised him and that for days he couldn't escape the positive euphoria that built around his broadcast. "Bosnia, Bosnia, Bosniaโ€”going to the World Cup!" Obrez shouted after the final penalty, and you can watch the full penalty shootout here. "Yesterday, I couldn't escape it. I received a huge number of messages and compliments, even from complete strangers. Then came calls from Bosnian media. I don't know if it was a joke, but one television station even offered me to commentate the next match of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team for them," Obrez said with a laugh in an interview with Slovenian Sportklub, adding: "Clearly, that's impossible due to the language barrier. Conversational language is one thing, but live broadcasting is something entirely different." The celebration of Bosnian fans on Tuesday evening spilled onto the streets of Slovenian cities, and Obrez emphasizes that most Slovenians sincerely wish success for Bosnia and Herzegovina. "I'm even a little surprised that there were practically no negative comments, because on social media, it usually goes both ways. I'm glad there were no political or nationalistic comments mixed in. I simply immersed myself in the match and caught its rhythm. Emotions carry you when you feel for someone and sincerely wish them something. God forbid it was directed against Italy. All credit to Bosniaโ€”I truly want this for them. Those scenes were absolutely unreal. That nation truly deserves to celebrate so sincerely. I wish this would unite them a bit more across the entire country. They really needed something like this," Obrez stated clearly. Known as a commentator "with no filter," Obrez has never hidden his emotional connection to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which dates back to the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. "I experienced the Olympics in Sarajevo, and I don't know if I've ever felt better anywhere than in Bosnia. Half of my best friends are originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are also big supporters of Slovenia, so we go to matches together and celebrate the successes of both countries. As a child, I remember that famous 'We love Jurek more than burek.' I always carry with me the feeling of how they treat us and our athletes," the Slovenian commentator recalls, adding: "While in some foreign countries, they don't like it when our ski jumpers win, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, they sincerely celebrate the successes of the Prevc brothers, not to mention how passionately they follow Tadej Pogaฤar. That fanatical way they experience sports, along with the inevitable humor that accompanies it, is truly close to my heart." In conclusion, Slovenia's best football commentator drew a parallel to the times when a similar football fever shook his homeland. "We also experienced similar scenes once, and I hope we will again soon. I admit, all of this reminded me of the days when we returned from Kyiv or Bucharest, when people stood by the highway from Brnik to Ljubljana out of sheer excitement. What was happening on the field, that energy, that desire, and the spirit of playing for one another, incredibly reminded me of the connection of our golden generation. I simply remembered how I myself went wild with happiness when we qualified for major tournaments," concluded an emotional Obrez.
