Aca Amadeus Proposes to Barbara Bojovic in Blace

Amadeus band keyboardist Aleksandar Stanimirovic, better known as Aca Amadeus, proposed to singer Barbara Bojovic on August 28 on the stage of the Plum Days festival in Blace. The news was first reported by Informer and Kurir.

Plum Days in Blace runs from August 27 to 29, and the proposal took place on the festival’s second night. Amadeus band was playing its biggest hits that evening, with the crowd singing along to the songs the band regularly performs at shows across Serbia. Host Bojan Tasic then took the stage and announced that Barbara Bojovic was coming out. Part of the audience already knew that Bojovic was in a relationship with Aca, the band’s keyboardist, with whom she had already moved in before the proposal, but no one in Blace expected what came next.

Stanimirovic got down on one knee in front of the crowd and the band and proposed to Bojovic. She said yes, then took the microphone and sang Ana Bekuta’s hit “Treba vremena.” The band kept playing, the audience answered the moment with applause, and the song was sung through to the end right there on stage.

The two outlets disagree on the age gap between Aca and Barbara. Informer puts the difference at 23 years, while Kurir says Bojovic is 20 years younger than the keyboardist. The couple has made no official statement on their exact age gap, so both figures currently stand as two versions of the same number, and which one is accurate is known only from personal documents that neither outlet has published.

The couple had confirmed their relationship before this, and according to both outlets, Stanimirovic and Bojovic had already started living together well before the proposal happened. Even before that night in Blace, Aca had shown how much the relationship meant to him: he had Barbara’s name tattooed on his neck, a gesture both outlets had previously cited as proof of how seriously he took his relationship with the younger singer.

There is no precise information on when exactly the two reports went up. Informer published its piece on the proposal on the evening of August 28, shortly after the Blace performance, while Kurir ran its story the following morning, on August 29. The order of publication is clear, though neither outlet listed the exact time in its report.

Alongside Amadeus band, this year’s Plum Days lineup in Blace also featured Jelena Karleusa and Magla bend, drawing part of the crowd that otherwise follows the pop-folk scene beyond local performers. The on-stage proposal thus happened at one of the best-attended events in town that weekend.

Kurir’s report on the proposal also notes that Aca Amadeus’s name has previously been linked to other media stories from his private life, though that part of the story does not appear in the coverage of the proposal itself, beyond what the outlets had already reported. For now, neither Stanimirovic nor Bojovic has made an official statement about the engagement beyond what unfolded on stage in front of the crowd in Blace.

Before the proposal, Barbara Bojovic was known as a younger singer on the same pop-folk scene where Amadeus band performs, and her relationship with Aca had already drawn attention from entertainment media. Now, after the proposal in Blace, the couple is entering a new stage of their relationship, with no wedding date announced by either source so far.
