Misajlovski and his team member, Master Sergeant Predrag Masevski, have attended many similar competitions in Europe. 鈥淪o many countries are attending Sharp Blade, and there are so many events at the same time in the same location. No mistakes were ever made 鈥 this represents the top level,鈥 Misajlovski said. 鈥淲e tried our best during the competition.
