Excerpt: Zdravko Colic (Serbian Cyrillic: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿), (born May 30, 1951 in Sarajevo, PR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia) is a pop singer popular across the entire area of former Yugoslavia. Originally from Sarajevo, since 1992 (in the beginning of the Yugoslav wars), his home is in Belgrade, Serbia. Born to Bosnian Serb parents, police administrator Vladimir and homemaker Stana Colic, both of whom came to Sarajevo from Trebinje vicinity in Herzegovina, young Zdravko showed an early interest in sports. He was active as a footballer in FK Zeljeznicar's youth system, before switching to track and field where he also excelled. At one point he was able to run a 100 meter dash in 11.3 seconds, and continually placed high at various track meets he entered (at one of them he finished just behind future star Nenad Stekic). Still, a pro sports career wasn't to be as Colic lacked the Spartan discipline required to go on. Zdravko attended Vladimir Peric Valter elementary school in the neighbourhood he grew up in - Grbavica. He also attended music school where he studied guitar playing. As a hobby he took part in various school recitals, and also acted in a couple of plays at Pionirsko pozoriste (Youth Theatre). Since the youngest age Colic also showed an interest in music. With friend Braco Isovic, he played guitar at informal and impromptu park gatherings through which they became somewhat locally known as "Cola i Isa sa Grbavice". At the time Colic was trying to emulate pop schlager music that dominated Yugoslav and Italian festivals. His first significant public singing experience occurred in 1968 when he spent a couple of days at the Montenegrin coast for the November 29 holiday (communist Yugoslavia's republic day). Staying in the house his father owned in the coastal community of BaoSici, 17-year-old Zdravko got persuaded by a friend Nedim Idrizovic to enter the amateur signing competition in nearby Bijela. He won second prize singing "Lady Madonna" by The Beatles. Enc
