Marcus Adriano Birro remembers how in 1997, after being selected for a six-month project at Swedish Radio P3, he traveled to Stockholm for radio training together with 24 other young people. On the train, he met Sladjan Osmanagic. Birro recounted that they started talking after Sladjan heard music from The Jesus and Mary Chain that Birro was playing. They became close friends during the training in Stockholm and Gysinge, Birro wrote, and then continued to work together at Swedish Radio in Gothenburg. Sladjan initially worked on Musikjournalen and later became nationally known through Rally in P3. Birro also remembered their long conversations about football and Sladjan's love for Italian football. Birro wrote that Sladjan later invited him to Svenska Fans and supported his way into sports journalism. After the news of Sladjan's death, Birro described him as both uncompromising and warm, expressing sorrow over losing a friend. He also sent love and care to Sladjan's loved ones and wrote that he would raise a glass to his memory. #vänskap #SverigesRadio #fotboll (translated)
