Olja Bajrami Reports Man Who Followed Her to Police

Singer Olja Bajrami went to the police over a man who, according to an unnamed source, followed her after gigs for weeks. Kurir and Telegraf reported the story on October 28, and Telegraf says the singer confirmed to Blic that such a man exists. The Telegraf piece was published that day at 10:54 p.m.

What does the source say about the man who followed Olja Bajrami?

The sequence of events comes from an unnamed source cited by both outlets, not from the singer. According to that source, it began at a club where Olja was performing. The man requested songs and was pushy, then waited for her after the show. She agreed to take a photo with him because nothing seemed unusual at the time.

The source claims he then waited for her after every following gig over the past several months. He insisted that they talk and get to know each other better, and on a couple of occasions he grabbed her by the arm when she tried to walk away.

The situation reportedly escalated after one performance. Olja set off toward her apartment and realized someone was following her. It turned out to be the same man, which means he also knew where she lives. Two evenings later she saw him parked on her street, watching her. She called a friend to come over, and he advised her to go to the police because the situation was not harmless.

What did Olja Bajrami say herself?

As Telegraf reports, the singer confirmed the claims to Blic. Her statement reads:

It is true that there is such a man, who was very pushy and tiresome, and I have to admit that I really was not at ease. I am not a fearful woman, but imagine someone waiting for you like that on your street, and he knows where I live too… I hope everything is sorted out now. I was not alone, people close to me were with me, and I did not even sleep at my own home every night.

Kurir carries the same statement without naming Blic, with a slight difference in one sentence (“I am not a fearful woman” appears there with an extra word). This article uses the quote as Telegraf recorded it.

Olja’s confirmation covers the fact that the man exists, that he was pushy and tiresome, and that she was not at ease. Her statement does not address the arm grabbing, the vehicle on her street or the call to her friend. Those details rest on the source alone.

What is still unknown?

Neither outlet says when the report was filed or whether proceedings have been opened against the man. Nothing is said about whether police have identified him. He has not been named, and the conduct attributed to him rests on claims from a source who remains anonymous, so until the authorities confirm anything it has to be read as allegation.

In her statement the singer said only that she hopes “everything is sorted out now,” without explaining what that means in practice.
