Stanija Dobrojevic Visits Elite 10 for Daca's Birthday

Stanija Dobrojevic, winner of Elite 9, walked onto the Elite 10 estate on Tuesday, September 15, even though she is no longer a contestant this season. The reason was the birthday of her friend Daca Virijevic, one of this season’s houseguests. Kurir published the news of her brief return the same day at 4:03 PM, and Telegraf also carried details from the estate.

Stanija stayed at the White House for only a short while. She summed up her own visit in a few words.

“I walk in, say happy birthday, and that’s it,” Stanija Dobrojevic, winner of Elite 9, said right after arriving.

Her sudden appearance caused quite a stir. The contestants on hand started screaming the moment they spotted her, and Daca Virijevic announced loudly who had shown up.

“This is Stanija, everyone,” Daca Virijevic, an Elite 10 contestant, shouted when he saw his friend on the estate.

Stanija then wished him a happy birthday, and in that same sentence, not as the point of the visit but simply as part of the conversation, she passed along a piece of news from outside, something the contestants otherwise have no way of hearing while they are on the estate.

“Stay healthy and happy, and go crush this season. I spoke with your dad, your gifts will start arriving after New Year’s,” Stanija Dobrojevic told Daca Virijevic on the Elite 10 estate.

With that, she let him know she had been in touch with his father outside the estate and that his gifts would not arrive until after New Year’s, a detail Daca himself, while inside the show, had no other way of finding out.

Stanija did not stop at the birthday wish. Before heading for the exit, she also called Laura Prgomet over for a few words.

“Take care of yourself, don’t end up with some fool, and look after her,” Stanija Dobrojevic told Laura Prgomet on the Elite 10 estate.

As she was leaving the White House, Janjus, another of this season’s contestants, called out to her as well.

“Bye, sweetheart, take off, bye Stanka, keep watching us,” Janjus, an Elite 10 contestant, called after Stanija as she left the estate.

Kurir also reports that Stanija arrived at the estate in a tracksuit and without makeup, with no preparation for the cameras at all, a departure from her usual public appearances over the past few weeks.

This is not the first time Stanija has turned up in the media outside the show itself in recent days. According to both outlets, she recently visited the Mitrovic couple’s villa in Dedinje, where Milica Mitrovic welcomed her. During that visit she also filmed shots of the living room done in black and white tones, with a glass wall, a white sofa set with black pillows, and a table covered in flowers and treats. Besides touring the home, Stanija also went for a ride with Zeljko Mitrovic, a drive that, as she told it, started by taking off straight from his yard.

Stanija had announced her entrance to Elite 10 in advance. We reported on it earlier in the piece “Dragon of Sipovo: ‘I’m entering Elite 10 to shake things up,’” where she said she was preparing to return to the estate with a clear goal. This time she did return, but not as a contestant, rather as a guest at a birthday, and only for a few minutes.
