Dog-killing videos surface, Kristina and Kristijan fired

Videos allegedly showing Kristijan Golubovic killing a pet dog, with Kristina Spalevic filming the whole scene, began circulating online on July 27 and split the region within hours. The footage spread rapidly from profile to profile, and according to Spalevic, additional clips of verbal abuse in front of children surfaced alongside it.

Until recently the two were a fresh tabloid item, a couple happy to pose and share moments on Instagram. Then everything unraveled. Spalevic reported the abuse and the animal’s death to the police and, in a voice message now circulating online, said she had handed over the material as evidence. Golubovic denies the accusations, claiming they are driven by jealousy and money, and says he will present his own evidence.

Mitrovic acted overnight

The response from the top of Pink was swift and blunt. Zeljko Mitrovic permanently removed both from their roles at Red television and publicly condemned the footage, calling what it shows unforgivable. For an industry used to sweeping scandal under the rug and waiting for the noise to fade, this was a rare move. This time the media owner did not wait for the outcome of a police check; he acted the same day the material started to spread.

The wave spilled well beyond the studio. Animal-welfare organizations spoke out publicly, calling on the authorities to react urgently, and the comment sections turned into an avalanche. What began as another celebrity feud grew within hours into a story the whole region is talking about, not because of who was with whom, but because of what allegedly happened to a helpless animal.

Is this the end of their television careers?

The permanent removal from Red television is the sharpest signal so far, but the legal chapter is still to come. The case is in the hands of the police, and what the investigation establishes will decide whether it stays at the level of public condemnation or moves to court. In a scene where many return even after serious scandals, this is one of the rare situations where public anger is so unanimous that a comeback looks almost unthinkable.

Milica Mitrovic weighed in as well, in her own way. The wife of Pink’s owner posted an emotional message on Instagram alongside photos of her dogs, writing that a dog does not measure a person’s worth by success, money or mistakes, and that its devotion is sincere and its love simple and pure. The post gathered thousands of reactions in a short time and, judging by the comments, struck exactly the nerve that had put the region on edge.

The question many are now asking remains: is public condemnation enough, or should the institutions have the final word in this case?
