He's best result is silver medal in the men's 50 meter freestyle at the [[Swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's 50 metre freestyle|2004 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]], [[Greece]].
 
Draganja won a silver medal in [[2005 World Aquatics Championships]] held in [[Montreal]] in 50 m freestyle.
 
Draganja is also a former NCAA record holder in the 100 yard freestyle, with a time of 41.49, set in 2005, while he swam for the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. He, like many other world-class, non-American swimmers, chose to spend 4 years training and competing at an American university. During his four years with Cal, Duje won 10 [[PAC-10]] swimming titles, and eight [[NCAA]] National championships. While at Cal, he trained with the world-renown sprinting coach [[Mike Bottom]]. Now he trains in Zagreb with swimming club Dubrava.
 
He has been controversial in Croatia for his decision to take the citizenship of [[Qatar]] and continue his swimming career under the flag of that country, after receiving a very lucrative offer to do so. Croatian public opinion largely turned against Draganja at that time with the press portraying him as a villain with no respect for his homeland. Draganja accepted a Qatar passport in August 2005 claiming that he will keep his Croatian passport and will not change his religion.
 
However, in February 2006, the swimmer made it clear that he had reversed his decision and that he will continue to compete for his country of birth, Croatia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.swimmersworld.com/News/?ID=4197|title=Draganja Turns His Back on Qatar |accessdate=2007-12-01}}</ref>
