Asmin Durdzic: I Won't Bad-Mouth Aneli Anymore
After three years apart, Asmin Durdzic saw his daughter again. He had earlier promised, in a video call, to stop speaking badly about Aneli Ahmic.
Asmin Durdzic saw his daughter again after three years apart, the outlet Republika reported in a story published on the evening of August 24. The meeting came right after the ninth season of the reality show Elita wrapped up, and mother Aneli Ahmic personally brought the girl to the agreed location.
Near the end of the season, Durdzic had said he would travel to Dubrovnik after the show to see his daughter. That trip never happened. Appearing later on the program Narod pita, he explained why he chose to wait before meeting her. He didn’t want to put more pressure on the child after years without contact. Through intermediary Osman Karic, he still managed to make first contact with his daughter, initially over a video call.
During that call, as he told it on the show, his daughter asked him: “Do you love mom again?” Durdzic says the question hit him hard. “I said I do, and she called me to come,” he said at the time on Narod pita, according to Republika. During that same call, he promised his daughter he would stop saying bad things about Aneli Ahmic. He added that she seemed more mature than he expected. “I felt like I’d suffered for the things I said on Elita. It felt like I was talking to a fifteen-year-old girl,” he said.
What happened at the meeting in Belgrade?
Days later came the first face-to-face meeting, separate from the earlier video call. According to Espreso, it was organized at Osman Karic’s villa, chosen as neutral ground for father and daughter. The outlet reports that Karic had repeatedly tried to mediate between Durdzic and Ahmic in the past, and this time opened the doors of his own home. Aneli Ahmic personally brought the daughter to the agreed spot.
Per Espreso’s account, Asmin was in tears the moment he saw his daughter and held her in his arms the entire time. The outlet does not carry any direct statements from him made at the meeting itself.
Republika, which published footage of the meeting first, carries a short exchange between father and daughter. “Do you love dad,” Durdzic asked. “Yes, a lot,” she answered. He then asked if she had missed him. She said yes, and Asmin kissed her.
The two outlets end up covering two separate moments of the same story. Republika reports on both the earlier video call and the later in-person meeting, while Espreso focuses only on the meeting at the villa, with more detail on the location itself and on Aneli Ahmic’s role in arranging it.
Aneli and Asmin have not commented so far
According to Republika, neither Aneli Ahmic nor Asmin Durdzic has commented on the meeting so far. There is no official account of how it was arranged for the daughter to see her father, and it isn’t clear whether Osman Karic was present for the meeting itself or simply provided the space.
Republika published its story about the meeting on August 24 at 9:30 p.m. Espreso published its own story, with details about Osman Karic’s villa and Aneli Ahmic’s role, the next day, August 25.
The relationship between Durdzic and Ahmic has followed Serbia’s reality TV audience for three years, marked by frequent clashes playing out across Elita and Zadruga. This meeting is the first confirmed instance of both of them, even briefly, setting their disputes aside for their daughter’s sake. Whether more regular contact follows remains an open question for both outlets, since the former couple has not commented on it so far.
