We first learned about Bob Bozic in early 2012, but now that we hear this update to his story we think we may need to visit him in Belgrade. This is the stuff we live for:

At Fanelli’s, a venerable bar in SoHo, Bob Bozic was the kind of bartender who also served as entertainment, telling endless stories about his life: he was the scion of a rich inventor in Serbia, a prizefighter, even a onetime bank robber. Nick Paumgarten, who wrote about Bozic in 2012, discovered that these barroom tales are true. Recently, Bozic was in touch again, with big news: he was quitting the bar and going to Serbia to pursue a restitution claim on his father’s mansion, one of the nicest houses in Belgrade, which was seized by the Communists in 1946.
