1991 World Championships in Athletics: competing in a team which also featured Dejan Jovković, Nenad Đurović and Mačev, he reached the final of the competition with the country's first sub-three-minute mark for the event (2:59.95 min). The Yugoslavian team came fourth in the relay final, just over two tenths of a second behind bronze medallists Jamaica. Branković won the 100 metres at the Yugoslavian championships, but it was over the longer sprint distance that he excelled that year. He won the 400 m gold medal at the 1992 European Athletics Indoor Championships – an achievement which proved to be the pinnacle of his individual running career. Owing to the dissolution of Yugoslavia, he was one of nine athletes to compete independent of a nation at the 1992 Summer Olympics. He reached the quarter-finals of the 400 m at the Games of Barcelona. Branković was a representative of Europe at the 1992 IAAF World Cup and came fifth overall in the 400 m. For his achievements that year, the sports daily Спорт nominated him for their "Golden Badge", recognising him as their Yugoslav sportsman of the year. He completed a 100/200 m double at the national championships in 1993 with personal best times of 10.33 seconds and 20.98 seconds, respectively (his 100 m time was the fastest ever run at the championships at that point). Later that year, he took part in the 1993 World Championships in Athletics and ran in the heats of the 200 m. His final international performance came in the heats of the 400 m at the 1997 IAAF World Indoor Championships. Following his retirement from athletic competition, he moved into the field of athletics administration and rose to the position of general secretary at the Athletics Federation of Serbia. He led the organising committee for the 2017 European Athletics Indoor Championships held in Belgrade.
