Mirjana Antonović Says Devin Has the Same Inheritance Rights as Miroslav Ilić’s Other Children

Mirjana Antonović has said that her son, Devin, is now legally recognised as Miroslav Ilić’s child and therefore has the same inheritance rights as the singer’s other children. The comments followed a court decision in the long-running paternity case, in which Antonović has sought official recognition of Ilić as Devin’s biological father. Speaking to local media last year, Antonović said she and Devin welcomed the court outcome, but described the result as part of a wider issue affecting single parents. She said they were especially pleased by the prospect of changes to laws concerning parents whose partners, in her words, fail to take responsibility. Antonović added that they had celebrated the ruling, while feeling that the broader goal had not yet been achieved. Asked whether Devin would be included in Ilić’s will, Antonović said that, as his legally recognised son, he had the same rights as the singer’s other children. Her statement concerned legal status and inheritance rights; it did not establish what any will contains or whether an inheritance has been arranged. Antonović has also described the history of the court case on Facebook. In a post cited in the report, she said the Higher Court in Belgrade had again ruled in her and Devin’s favour. She wrote that the court relied on witnesses, photographs and other evidence after Ilić, according to her account, declined to provide a DNA sample. Antonović said Ilić appealed the decision and expressed hope that the appellate court would uphold the ruling. The dispute has drawn public attention because Ilić is a well-known singer and because the case concerns the legal recognition of a father-son relationship. Antonović’s statements offer her account of the proceedings and their effect on the family; the article does not provide a response from Ilić to her latest comments about inheritance.
