Following the conclusion of his loan spell at Zrinjevac, during the 2013–14 season, Slavica returned to his parent club of Cibona, and he became a regular on the club's senior men's team, Cibona Zagreb, seeing action in the Croatian League, the ABA league, and the lower-tier level European-wide competitions of the FIBA Europe Cup, and the Basketball Champions League.
