Toma Panić Names the Public Figures Who Supported Nadežda Biljić During Cancer Treatment

Toma Panić has named eight public figures he says sent messages of support to Nadežda Biljić while she was seriously ill with cancer. In an Instagram post, Panić listed Kija Kockar, Aleksandra Mladenović, Jelena Kostov, Darko Tanasijević, Nela Vidaković, Nela Bijanić, Milan Milošević and Ognjen Amidžić. He also thanked people outside the public eye, including journalists, without identifying them. Panić said their support would not be forgotten. He added that some colleagues had mocked Biljić over her illness, but declined to name them, writing that he would leave the matter there. Biljić has previously spoken to Blic about discovering the cancer and the symptoms she noticed. She said doctors found it in March, though she believes it may have been present in February. She recalled recognizing warning signs but postponing a medical visit while dealing with a concert and a recording session. After experiencing a more serious symptom, she said she sought medical help immediately, either that same day or the following morning. Biljić also told the outlet that the worst of the illness had been addressed and that she had managed to overcome that difficult period. Her remarks give context to Panić’s post, which focused on the people he says stood by her during the health crisis.
