After returning from his loan at Milicionar, Ćirković played his first official game for Partizan in November 1999. He became a first-team regular in the 2000–01 season, making a career-high 34 appearances across all competitions.
In the 2001–02 and 2002–03 seasons, Ćirković helped Partizan win back-to-back championship titles. He was subsequently a member of the team that reached the group stage of the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League, converting the decisive penalty in the shoot-out against Newcastle United in the final qualifying round.[1][2]
In January 2006, Ćirković extended his contract with Partizan for another four years.[3] He was deemed surplus to requirements after failing to make any appearances in the 2007–08 season.
Ćirković was capped nine times for Serbia and Montenegro (previously known as FR Yugoslavia). He made his international debut in November 2000, coming on as a substitute for Nenad Sakić in a 2–1 away friendly loss to Romania.
In January 2001, Ćirković represented his country at the Millennium Super Soccer Cup, as they would go on to win the tournament.[4] However, these caps are not officially recognized by FIFA.
