Zoran Vujović (Serbian Cyrillic: Зоран Вујовић) - Zoki, born on January 27, 1988 in Skopje (now the Republic of Macedonia), was a heroic young man who died during the protest "Kosovo je Srbija" (English: "Kosovo is Serbia") in Belgrade (Serbia), on February 21, 2008.
During the protest held in Serbia, Zoran Vujović's dead body was found burnt somewhere inside the building of the American embassy in Belgrade. Zoran Vujović lived with his family in Kosovo's capital, Pristina, until 1999 when they were forced to move to Novi Sad.

Zoran Vujović was named after his grandfather, who was found dead in 2002. It is said that he committed suicide beacuse he couldn't stand the tragical faith of his mother who died two years earlier. She was found strangled in her bathtub, victim of Albanian extremists. Dragiša, Zoran's uncle said that her death was investigated by a British captain, but no one was ever prosecuted for the murder.

Zoran was a sophomore student at the Faculty of Technical Sciences (Novi Sad). He was also a big fan of KK Partizan.

Somewhere between 3000 and 5000 people attended his funeral that took place on February 26 in Novi Sad.
