Hi Milosc,

'Just' in your sentence has the function of an adverb in the sense of 'exactly'. With that meaning it doesn't take the usual 'ly' at the end because that would give a different meaning for 'just'. In that sense as an adjective it can mean 'fair' or 'reasonable' and to form the adverb when that is the meaning, you would say: 'justly'.
