BELGRADE, SEPTEMBER 4 /SRNA/ - Multimedia artist, musician, writer Nenad Janković aka Nele Karajlić told SRNA that he was shocked by the news of the death of Bora Đorđević, whom he said was one of the most talented and greatest poets on "this" language, an icon of Yugoslav and Serbian pop-rock culture.

"He is one of the greatest poets, one of those who marked both Yugoslav and Serbian rock and roll, as well as Yugoslav and Serbian pop-rock culture. The king. I am so sorry," said Nele. Nele was taken aback by the news of Bora Čorba's death. "I'm not in Belgrade, I'm in the countryside, I have no idea what's going on. I know he was sick. What can I say, I'm taken aback," Nele said. He recalled that he once recorded "Victory Song" with Bora on the occasion of the match of the then national football team for the World Cup in 1998, and later "Loser's Song", stating that those were wonderful times. "He was a genius," Nele said, adding that Bora will be remembered for his wit.
