Kristina Spalević Opens Up About Her Brother’s Illness and Fears for Her Safety

Kristina Spalević has spoken about painful experiences that shaped her life, including her younger brother’s serious health condition and the strain it placed on her family. In an emotional interview, the former reality-show contestant and presenter described having to grow up early while her parents focused on her brother’s needs. She said that her grandmother in Bosnia was her main source of support during childhood. Spalević said her brother lives with complex diagnoses and what she described as complete brain damage caused by a medical error. The family, she recalled, sold everything they could to pay for treatment and therapies, but she said those efforts did not help. She also described the decision to separate from her brother and place him in an institution as one of the most distressing periods of her life. She praised her mother as a hero, saying doctors had told her that her child would remain severely disabled for life. Spalević said the family’s ordeal left lasting emotional effects on her, and also recalled facing bullying while growing up. The interview also turned to her relationship with Kristijan Golubović, with whom she has two sons. Spalević described the relationship as a source of deep disappointment and said she considered it her greatest shame. She also spoke about receiving threats, saying that recent pressure had left her afraid for her safety. She recalled telling those around her that she feared she could meet the same fate as singer Ksenija Pajčin. Her account was presented as a personal recollection of family hardship, a difficult relationship and the fear she says she has recently experienced.
