“HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE FLIGHT ZVONKO CALLED ME”: Confession of the murdered pilot’s mother for “Novosti” – I was waiting for him like “frozen sun”

However, no one wanted to believe the worst. It was rumored that the pilot allegedly catapulted into the Čolakovići settlement in Brasina … Everything is unverified, unofficially, which makes the concern even greater and opens the way to dark forebodings, but there was a shred of hope.

-Half an hour before the flight, Zvonko called me and told me to come out to the terrace to fly over our houses – Mother Mara told “Novosti”.

-I was waiting for him “like an icy sun”, he is our pride and joy in every way, both as a child, as a man and as a pilot, I don’t know what happened in the meantime.

Father Dragan says that he knows his son in the soul, but also his thoughts on flights and says: Who knows how many times he told me that he would never, at all costs, leave anyone on a plane and himself to catapult. Never, he emphasized. he wouldn’t. I’m sure he didn’t do that even now, because he has strong morals, professionalism, and philanthropy.

Zvonko’s uncle, Vidoje, was also a pilot, a lieutenant colonel in JNA aviation. The young Vasiljevic thus continued the military and pilot tradition of this honorable house of Donja Borina. Vidoje died tragically, some twenty years ago, but not in the summer, but he fell from the house of a friend whom he was helping to shed.
