Personal life

Like many players from the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s, Jelić obtained Greek citizenship, while playing in the country, and thus competed as a domestic player under the name Ntousan Koutsopoulos (Greek: Ντοὐσαν Κουτσόπουλος). In Greece, he is also known by the name Dušan Jelic Koutsopoulos.
