In the two-legged confrontation, they defeated Maltese club Hamrun Spartans twice with scores of 2:1 and 3:1, earning the right to compete against Dynamo Kyiv.
The first leg is scheduled for August 21 and will take place in Serbia on neutral ground, while the return match is set for August 28 in Lublin, Poland.
