Rajko Obradovi\u0107 (31) did not even manage to step on his native Lika soil, nor did he manage to play properly on it with other children, when already at ten months old, on August 4, 1995, he found himself with his family in a column of refugees in “Storm” who sought and found refuge in Serbia. But the love for that place where he was born, where his soul was born, grew with the years, maturing into a serious decision, such that to the lyrics of the old song: “Oh, Lika, does anyone love you?”, he answered: \u2013 With all my heart, I am returning to you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajko was born on October 4, 1994, in Knin. He was ten months old when they set off, back then it seemed on a journey of no return: him with his parents, grandmother, grandfather, father’s sister, uncle, and their two children. In the columns, they told him, one group of people went from Klapavica to Srb and then to Lapac, another to Udbina and Lapac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-First we came to Kula to relatives, and in 1997 we moved to Belgrade. There were moves there as well, in the end we settled in New Belgrade, in Block 45, so I am a block child. My sister was born there in 2000. I went to elementary school ‘Branko Radi\u010devi\u0107’, then to the Fifth Economics School in Rakovica, and to the Faculty of Law. I consider Belgrade mine too, I grew up in it, but I always strived to come to Lika. In Serbia, I made friends for life and they come to visit me here. This year I went to Belgrade three times, I would go more often, but dealing with livestock requires 24-hour supervision \u2013 says Rajko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year is 2018, Friday, June 22. Rajko graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Belgrade. In the evening he watched the broadcast of the Serbia \u2013 Switzerland match at the World Cup in Russia, the next day celebrated the end of his studies with family and friends, and already on Sunday set off where his heart was pulling him \u2013 to Lika, to his village of Klapavica. He didn’t even think about looking for a job in his field, he doesn’t think about it even now: at 31 years old, he is a model farmer, an exemplary host who now has about 130 thoroughbred cows and 30 cattle in his barns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Livestock farming has been our family tradition for centuries. Except in the period when we were in exile \u2013 Rajko tells ‘Ve\u010dernje novosti’. \u2013 When they returned to Klapavica in 2000, grandma and grandpa started with one cow and five goats. And I got into the whole business with dad. We started with sheep, that was our primary activity. Along with that came a few cows, according to the cow-calf system. The main product there is meat, so the breeds we raise we only fatten, we don’t milk them or use them for milk production because they are genetically predisposed so that after the calf stops suckling, the cow itself stops lactating. However, a family tragedy happened, my father passed away suddenly in 2022 and we had to choose one activity. I chose cows even though I loved sheep much more, so I still have a couple of them now, just for my soul. However, cows are primary and I have a fine herd of 120 to 130 thoroughbred heads and another 30 cattle, both young and large, in the barn at the manger.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
