Club career

Vještica began his professional football career with Novi Sad in the late 1990s. He spent several seasons with the Canaries playing in the lower leagues, before moving to their cross-town rivals Vojvodina in the summer of 2001. Vještica stayed just a half a season there, joining Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg during the 2002 winter transfer window. He spent five seasons at Petrovsky Stadium between 2002 and 2006. In January 2008, Vještica signed a contract with Partizan.[1] In January 2012, Vještica signed a contract with Ural Yekaterinburg.[2] The following year, he helped Ural to win promotion to the Premier League. After the first part of the 2013–14 season, his contract with the club was terminated by mutual consent.[3] On 14 February 2014, Dynamo Saint Petersburg announced the signing of Vještica on a permanent basis.[4]

International career

Vještica made one appearance for the Yugoslav national under-21 team during the qualification campaign for the 2002 UEFA Under-21 Championship.
