Dino Beslic on Armin: "He Stayed Dear to Me"

Dino Beslic, the son of Halid Beslic, said goodbye on Instagram to a young man named Armin, whom he had met on the oncology ward while both of his parents were being treated for the same disease. Telegraf was first to report the news, in the night between September 11 and 12, with Republika picking it up about twenty minutes later.

Dino and Armin met on the oncology ward, at a time when Halid and Sejda Beslic were being treated for cancer. According to both outlets, Dino spent his days in the hospital hallways with his parents during that period, and it was there that he met Armin. The two knew each other only briefly, but as Dino wrote himself, the encounter left a deep mark on him.

In recent months, Dino had used social media to call on his followers to help the young man and stand by him in his fight against the disease, sharing appeals for support on his own Instagram account. He had hoped Armin would win that fight. He did not, and according to Telegraf, news of his death hit Dino hard.

What Dino Wrote

In an emotional post, Dino recalled their first meeting and admitted that, even though he had known the young man only briefly, Armin had become dear to him:

“My dear Armin, I hoped you would manage to beat this damned disease, the one that also took my parents’ lives, but Allah had other plans, to take the best for Himself. I knew you for a short time, but you stayed dear to me from the very first day we met at the oncology ward. To you, Amer, Alen, and everyone else who has left us these past months, may dear Allah grant you beautiful Jannah. Al-Fatiha.”

That is how Dino Beslic wrote it in his Instagram post, which he accompanied with a photograph.

In the same sentence, he also mentioned Amer and Alen, two people he said had passed away in recent months. Neither outlet offers any further details about them for now.

Republika refers to the young man in its report as Armin B., while Telegraf does not mention his surname at all. Neither source states his age, where he was from, or which hospital’s oncology ward he and Dino met on, so those details remain unknown for now.

Dino Has Now Lost the Same Disease Twice in His Family

The disease Dino called “damned” has already struck his family twice. Halid Beslic died on October 7, and his wife Sejda followed a few months later. Dino lost both parents within a span of eight months, while they were being treated for cancer on the very ward where he later met Armin.

The outlet grand.nova.rs previously reported that Dino was in a difficult psychological state after his mother’s death. The post about Armin is the first major emotional message he has shared publicly since then, and in it, rather than writing about his own loss, he wrote about a young man he had met by chance, in the same place where he had watched his own family fight the same diagnosis.

There has been no official statement from the wider Beslic family regarding Armin’s death so far. Both outlets carried Dino’s post in full, without cutting anything and without additional comment of their own, and Telegraf credited the accompanying photograph as a screenshot from Dino’s Instagram account.
