Answer
Hi Miljan,
Check that your battery cables are connected tightly, then with the key off, connect a battery booster/jumper, turn the key on, verify that there is power going into the car's system by blowing your horn, then try to start the vehicle.
If the starter just clicks and not crank, then you  have a bad starter. The starter solenoid terminal can be tested for the presence of 12 volts power when you turn the key to start. And
with the key on but not on start, the solenoid itself can be jumped to see if the starter would work when jumped.
