The editors of "Vremena" inform the public that our colleague Teofil Pančić died last night after a long and serious illness. Teofilo's departure defies the slogan that there are no irreplaceables
Our colleague, friend and "Vremena" columnist Teofil Pančić died after a long and serious illness in Novi Sad.
Teofil Pančić was a regular columnist and one of the most famous authors in the weekly "Vreme". He was a literary critic and editor of the cultural column "Vremena" until the very end.
He was born in Skopje in 1965. As the child of a military man, he spent part of his childhood in Pirot, and then moved to Zagreb, the city that formed him. Since the early nineties, he has been living between Belgrade and Novi Sad. He always remained from Vojvodina, because he chose Zemun as his Belgrade residence.
He has been a permanent columnist for "Vremena" since 1993.
He published texts and columns in numerous media, including: Slobodna Evropa, Jutarnji list, Naša Borba, Autonomija, Republika, Globus, Dani, Sarajevo notebooks, Dnevnik, Nezavisni, Vojvodina, Pobjeda, Monitor, etc.
He is the author of more than 20 books, mostly collections of essays, among which stand out: "Urban Bushmen", "Keepers of the Bengal Fire", "Personal Signs" and the short novel "39 Days of June".
He is the winner of numerous national and regional awards, such as "Jug Grizelj", "Knight of the Call", "Srđan Aleksić"... Most of the awards that Teofil Pančić received are awarded for courage, journalistic or human.
The departure of Teofil Pančić defies the slogan that there are no irreplaceable people. With his death, "Vreme" is left without a unique phenomenon of broad erudition, a unique character, an infallible sense of justice and without an author of an inimitable style.
Although he said that, ethnically, he always felt only and only as a Vojvodina, Teofil left his mark on the territory of the entire Yugoslavia, a country that technically no longer exists, but, we are sure, regrets today.
We will announce the time and place of Teofil Pančić's farewell later.

A lie is a powerful tool, you can achieve anything with it. But the truth is also powerful. If you want to accept the truth, then you can't do it partially, you have to decide whether you want to know and accept the whole truth and live according to it, or you have to persist in lies that can comfort you better.
