A businessman Branko Babic who recently took advantage of the misinformation that he was in Odžaci "leader of student protests" shot a man "who defended the municipality" to speak about "at the beginning of the war", posted a video on Instagram in which he "ends his fight against the madness that has befallen our beautiful country" with the message: "See you in a better country."
"With this post, I end my fight against the madness that has befallen our beautiful country. Students, professors and parents who support all this, each with their own personal interests, have declared me a criminal who does not pay taxes, a drug dealer, a drug addict, blackmailed, intimidated! Anyone who thinks differently was called a murderer by the ordinary mob, pelted with eggs. In the streets, people obediently wriggle their hands in chorus, this is what they were ordered to do by the plenum. There is no help for us, because unfortunately he did not appear that savior we've all been waiting for. I wish for the rest of normal Serbia to pass as soon as possible. Goodbye Kikindo..." Babić said in a video message.
Babić came to the public's attention after Bojan Mihajlović, a former MMA fighter, was wounded in Odžaci on Saturday. According to the police, the shooting was preceded by an argument, but it is not known what exactly caused the conflict.
Nevertheless, the tabloids, referring to Babić, announced that the man MM, "the leader of the student protests", was the suspect in the shooting, while they described the wounded Mihajlović as a person who "defended the municipality of Odzaci".
"Tonight in Odžaci, my friend was wounded with two bullets by the leader of the student protests. This is a war and remember, it will not end like this," Babić said shortly after the shooting.
The next day he called again.
"Today, we have slightly different information. The shooter appears on the video, which, in my opinion, is definitely not MM. He is almost 80 years old, if I'm not mistaken, and he couldn't run like this," said Babić and added that MM is not actually the leader of the student protests.
Babić is known as the "eyebrow king" because he was one of the first in Serbia to start a permanent eyebrow make-up business. He founded an academy to teach various drawing techniques and sell products, calling himself the "eyebrow king".
He is a native of Ratkov near Novi Sad, where he has a large estate and also owns an artificial lake.
