Belgrade, August 15 - Ilija Petkovic, new coach of the Serbia-Montenegro's national football team,
announced list of 20 players for UEFA EURO 2004 qualifier against Wales, scheduled to be played in Belgrade on August 20.
Petkovic called up Mateja Kezman who was top scorer in the Dutch league with 35 goals for PSV last season and is one of the highest-rated players in the Netherlands.
