Jovana Jeremic: 'I Quit My Job Psychologically Destroyed'

Jovana Jeremic appeared on Studio B on August 11 and, for the first time, told the story of how she met Zeljko Mitrovic and the state she was in when she decided to leave her previous job. The appearance came just days after she said goodbye to viewers of Pink’s morning show. She returns to that screen on August 28.

The host took the story back to the period before she joined Pink. She says she quit that job without a single secure thing to fall back on. She had no apartment. She drove a Fiat Panda worth 2,500 euros, and her daughter was two to three years old at the time.

I quit my job like a martyr, psychologically destroyed, worn out, I worked so much I couldn’t make ends meet.

She said this during her Studio B appearance, describing the weeks that, in her telling, preceded everything that followed.

How did the meeting on the Zemun riverbank happen?

By chance, with no arrangement beforehand. Jovana Jeremic had gone rollerblading along the Zemun riverbank, and Mitrovic happened to be there on a skateboard, having gone to visit his mother. They crossed paths on the same stretch, and that meeting, by her account, shaped the rest of her career.

That meeting with Zeljko Mitrovic was fateful.

She joined Pink in 2021. That is where the return date she picked herself comes from. She is coming back on Velika Gospojina, the same day she first walked into that television station.

What she’s teasing in her memoir

The host is writing her own biography and, as she put it, is deep into the work. She would not give details about its contents, but said it is where a part of her story that she has never spoken aloud will finally appear.

When my biography comes out one day, you’ll know the whole truth.

During the same appearance she also revealed an ambition that has nothing to do with domestic television. She says her life’s wish is to meet the American president.

My life’s wish is to be with Donald Trump.

What she told viewers before the break

Her live on-air farewell was brief and emotional. She said the break was not a vacation and set her return date in advance.

I need to speak to my viewers now, to say goodbye, but only for a while. So I won’t be here until August 28, I have something important to finish. I’m not going on vacation, if you think I’m going to rest, remember I only rested a couple of weekends in June, I’m going to finish something that matters to me, on August 28, on Velika Gospojina, the same day I joined Pink television back in 2021, you mark your calendars for our next meeting.

At the time she did not say what that important matter was. We reported on the announcement when it was made, and the only detail known then was the return date.

A wedding at Sveti Stefan

Now the picture is complete. She needs two weeks off screen for paperwork and to organize her wedding to boxer Milos Stojanovic Tigar. The ceremony is planned on Sveti Stefan.

What she said on Studio B for the first time had nothing to do with the wedding or the filming schedule. It was about the day she was left without a job and without a plan, with a small child and a car worth 2,500 euros. She has never described that chapter of her life this openly before, and by her own account, that still isn’t the whole story.
