He was orphaned by the war, however still excelled in school in Bačka Topola and in Zemun. Boro started his career with EP records for PGP-RTB, which made his career take off after "Za Ljubav Tvoju" (selling gold) and "Ti Si Sve Što Želim" (selling silver). He performed in Western Europe, Australia, America, and for Serbian diasporas around the world. Boro sold over 5 million albums by his death. His death by colon cancer caused the reactions of many.
