Death
Dragan died after brutal beating by a skinhead group and "Rad" supporters who due to his darker skin assumed he was Romani.[1] He was attacked in broad day light, while waiting for a bus, surrounded by people at one of the most frequented bus stops in the city, Zeleni Venac. No one intervened.[2]
On initiative by Serbian director Goran Marković, commemorative plaque was placed at Zeleni Venac in November 2006. Dragan's murderers remain at large to this day. This murder is part of series of killings of Serbian Romani by skinhead movement.[3]
