On the day of the accident, Arandjelovdan celebrated with his colleagues on the ship. It is suspected that after the celebration, instead of going to the room, he went on deck, fell into the Danube and drowned because he was not a swimmer. However, his body is missing.
So says a source familiar with the case of the disappearance of Milorad Vlaović (39) from Novi Sad, of whom all trace was lost on Saturday on a ship anchored in Linz, Austria, for “Blic”.
According to “Blic”, an extensive police search is underway in Linz for the missing Vlaović, who worked as a chef for years on the ship “Primadona”, from which he disappeared.
– He was not a swimmer, but his body is gone. All units in Linz are trying to trace what happened – says the source of “Blic”.
His wife and mother of their four children, Zeljka Vlaovic, briefly told “Blic” today that she does not believe that version of events.
“Until I see her body, I won’t believe she fell off the boat,” added the surprised woman.
He celebrated fame with his peers, then disappeared
As “Blic” finds out, the man who is currently in great demand in Austria, celebrated Arandjelovdan with his colleagues on the ship on Saturday. Colleagues say he didn’t drink much and they don’t know what happened.
Milorad is married and the father of four children. He has been working on the ship for about ten years, and was supposed to return to Novi Sad two weeks ago, but took an additional job with the ship’s owner and stayed there a few more days.
As his wife Zeljka told “Blic”, Vlaovic was supposed to return to Serbia in a few days to spend some time with her and their four children.
– She was supposed to be coming home on November 20, but she still stayed a bit longer to help them make cookies. We listen to each other every day, we are in constant contact. We have four children and we often hear about them – he says.
Last call
According to the concerned wife, she heard from her husband on Friday and then again on Saturday after returning from church with their children.
– On Saturday we talked around 12.30, he was in a very good mood. A colleague from the ship celebrated the glory that day. During the day, he sent me photos of the celebration table. The last time we heard each other it was around 3.30 pm and I didn’t want to bother him anymore – says Zeljka.
She says she texted him goodnight at 9:21 pm and noted that she hadn’t opened it, but thought she was enjoying the company and hadn’t seen her, and that she would reply in the morning. When she called him Sunday and he didn’t answer, she thought he was still asleep.
– I texted him every hour. The last one was around 3:30 pm It was our inside joke when the latter didn’t respond and said “Okay, now I’m calling the police.” However, unlike previous messages that weren’t open, it wasn’t delivered. I was worried he wouldn’t respond, but I thought he was missing the internet, she says.
Disappearance
She was more concerned when there was no signal or voice from Milorad on Monday, because, as he puts it, it is “such that it would immediately run on the Internet Monday morning.”
Then something unexpected happened. His neighbor and friend Marko, who has nothing to do with Milorad’s ship or company, entered Zeljka’s house.
– Marko came with puffy eyes and told me that Mića had disappeared. He was called by a colleague from Milorad who had previously worked on the ship. He learned from his colleagues on the ship that Mića was missing and wanted for a week, as well as helicopters flying overhead and divers looking for her, Željko says in disbelief.
Since she did not contact the company her husband works for, she asked her German-speaking daughter-in-law to call them. As he says, neither the secretary nor the head of the company wanted to give them information, they only gave the number of inspectors who are working on the case of Milorad’s disappearance!
– That inspector expressed his suspicions that Milorad got drunk at the party, got out, slipped off the boat and drowned. To us, this story “does not drink water”, because even when he is drunk he behaves normally, and his colleagues told me that he was not drunk. Another theory was that he went out to light a cigarette and then fell, but we don’t believe that either because he left the cigars … – says the surprised wife.
