He is one of the best handball players and leader of a young generation of players in Bosnia and Herzegovina men's national handball team. Prce was honoured as Bosnia and Herzegovina "Sportsman of the Year" for 2014.
"As a child I practiced everything, football, basketball, and a bit of tennis. Then, handball section was founded in high school, so I decided to try it. We traveled all over Herzegovina and played matches with peers from other schools. It was very interesting and attracted me. I practiced basketball for a while, but in the end, those trips and socializing prevailed to the side of handball and I was not wrong", says Prce. Nikola debuted for the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina on January 5, 2006, in the WC 2007 qualification match against the Netherlands.
