Dragan Gojić, a dedicated photojournalist for the Beta news agency in Novi Sad, passed away on June 20, 2026, at the age of 65 following a prolonged illness.

Gojić was a fixture at Beta for 25 years, having been with the agency since its photo department was established. A familiar face in Novi Sad, he used his Nikon camera to capture the essence of the city's daily happenings, from the beloved bench on Liberty Square to the outskirts of town.

Known for his professionalism, diligence, and passion, Gojić's work spanned a vast spectrum of subjects. He photographed everything from pensioners strolling through the streets to significant political developments. His portfolio also included images of the floods in Jaša Tomić, fires in Deliblatska Peščara, the plains of Vojvodina, the Kovilj Marsh, the Tisza River, and various wildlife.

His lens also focused on the rich tapestry of Vojvodinian customs, capturing their celebrations, joys, and sorrows. The time and place of Gojić's funeral will be announced later.
