Milica Pavlovic Searches for Brena's Son Stefan
The singer says she lost touch with Stefan Zivojinovic, Brena's son, after he stepped away from the music scene, and is asking the public for help reaching him.
Milica Pavlovic said in an interview for Blic, carried on September 15 by Nova.rs, that she has lost contact with Stefan Zivojinovic and is trying to reach him. The singer says she doesn’t know where he currently lives or what he’s doing these days, and that she would like to speak with him again.
Stefan Zivojinovic is the older son of Lepa Brena and Bobo Zivojinovic. A few years ago he followed in his mother’s footsteps and briefly tried his hand at music. During that, by most accounts short, career he formed a number of friendships in the industry, Milica Pavlovic among them. Their relationship, as she describes it, was a friendly, colleague-to-colleague one from a period when they often socialized and ran into each other at joint performances and industry gatherings.
Contact broke off, Pavlovic says, the moment Stefan stepped away from the music scene. Since then she hasn’t managed to find out anything concrete about him, even though, by her own account, she has tried more than once.
Unfortunately, I haven’t stayed in touch with Stefan. I’ve asked several people more than once, people I thought would be able to tell me where he is and what’s going on with him. Some told me something, others didn’t know what to tell me. I would love to see Stefan, he’s a wonderful soul. We used to hang out and see each other for a while. Contact stopped when he withdrew from the music scene.
That’s what Milica Pavlovic told Blic. Her account makes clear that even through mutual acquaintances she hasn’t been able to get a straight answer: some people passed along a piece of information here and there, while others simply didn’t know what was going on with Stefan. That’s why she decided to make her request public, through the media, instead of continuing to ask around individually.
If anyone has his contact information, please pass it on to me.
That line, carried by both Informer and Nova.rs, is essentially the point of the whole statement. Milica Pavlovic has no way of reaching Stefan Zivojinovic and is counting on someone from his circle to help change that.
Many, Informer notes, had expected Stefan to turn up at the christening of Aleksandra Prijovic and Filip Zivojinovic’s daughter, but that didn’t happen either. Filip Zivojinovic is Stefan’s half brother on their father Bobo Zivojinovic’s side, and Aleksandra Prijovic is Filip’s wife, meaning Stefan’s sister-in-law, not his sister. His absence from that family gathering has only added to speculation that he has withdrawn almost entirely from the circle he used to move in, including part of his own extended family.
In recent years Stefan Zivojinovic has rarely spoken to the media and no longer shows up at the industry events he once frequented. Milica Pavlovic is one of the few former colleagues to say publicly that they’ve lost touch, rather than leaving the story to speculation on social media.
Nothing in her statement points to any falling out between the two of them. On the contrary, she speaks only well of Stefan and his character, calling him a “wonderful soul” she would happily reconnect with. Everything suggests the break in contact is simply a result of his withdrawal from public life, not any rift with Milica Pavlovic or anyone else from that old circle.
Whether any of Stefan’s close acquaintances will respond to Milica Pavlovic’s request and pass along his contact information remains unknown for now. Neither Informer nor Nova.rs, which carried the statement, report any reaction from Stefan’s circle to the request, nor has Stefan Zivojinovic himself commented on the singer’s remarks.
