Serbia coach Radomir Antic has cut his World Cup squad to 24 players with Chelsea duo Slobodan Rajkovic and Nemanja Matic two of the six players to be omitted.
Ajax attacker Miralem Sulejmani, PSV Eindhoven defender Jagos Vukovic, Partizan Belgrade midfielder Nemanja Tomic and Red Star Belgrade striker Dejan Lekic also miss out. Star striker Nikola Zigic was retained and he does not feel any extra pressure after being tipped by Antic to be one of the stars in South Africa
"The coach's words are not a burden," said the Valencia forward.
"It's good that Antic praised me and I will try to justify his confidence.
"I always give my best for Serbia and it will always be that way."
Serbia were drawn in Group D alongside Germany, Ghana and Australia.
