He’s yet another extraordinary person to join our team. He is a legendary man. He is a Serbian social activist for democratic changes in Serbia. He was one of establishers of an organization called „The Resistance” which helped to begin collapse of Slobodan Milošević’s dictatorship and started a period of democratic revolution over the Balkans. He was honoured with the MTV „Free Your Mind” award in 2000 for his involvement in „The Resistance” and his civil attitude. He is often called „Serbian Wałęsa” and he has been introduced in a number of documentaries (eg. „Face of revolutions” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mB2Xg1zlyQ / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnfuDE_Wmo0). He is still recognized as hero of younger generation of the Serbs. Today, Branko is a vivid traveller and ham radio operator focusing on Morse code. We are happy this brave and colorful character will become an integral and irreplaceable part of our expedition.
