One of Bosnia’s most well-known actors, Mustafa Nadarevic, has passed away at age 77 after struggling with lung cancer.

Nadarevic found out that he had the disease beginning of this year.

“When I realised that this is part of life, that disease is part of life, then I accepted it,” he said at the time.

Nadarevic, born in 1943, in Novi Grad, was among Bosnia’s best film, theatre and television actors and comedians who appeared in more than 70 films.
