"I was sincerely saddened to hear of the departure of Minja Subota, a great artist and man without whose words and songs many of our generations could not imagine their childhood. Minja Subota introduced every child to the world of music and friendship in the most beautiful way, he brought up entire generations in the spirit of kindness and nobility. We will remember Minja as a cheerful and good friend and his music will be the most beautiful memory he leaves behind. My sincerest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of our Minja Subota," says Dacic in his telegram of condolences.
