He made his debut in the Inter Milan first team match day squad being named on the substitute bench for Inter on 1 October, 2022 for a Serie A match against AS Roma at the San Siro.[1][2]
Whilst he was captaining the Serbia U17 team to the semi-finals of the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, Stanković was described by the UEFA website as having set-piece delivery that would “be a menace to any opponent” and a “blend of finesse and fight in midfield [which] makes it clear why he wears the captain's armband.”[3]
In February 2020 Stanković was called up to the Serbia U15 squad.[4] Stanković represented Serbia Under16 and Serbia U17 and captained the youth team for the first time in May 2021.[5] He captained the Serbian team that reached the semi-finals of the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[6] In September 2022 he was called up for the first time, and played as captain, for the Serbia U18 national team in a 1-0 defeat against Italy U18.[7][8] Against the same opponent 4 days later he scored the first goal in a 2-1 win for his country.[9]
