On 30 June 2023, Dubljević amicably parted ways with the Spanish club after eleven whole seasons together and on 10 July, he signed with Zenit Saint Petersburg of the VTB United League. [8] Dubljević left Valencia as the club's all-time leader in points and rebounds. [9]

On 2 July 2024, Dubljević signed with Casademont Zaragoza of the Liga ACB. [10]
