"It was with deep sadness that I received the news that Milan Gutovic has left us, I was convinced, as everyone who love and respect him, that he would sail through the medical problems and come back to us who have been enjoying his art for decades. He was one of the biggest masters of our scene everywhere he performed, be it the theatre, film, television, cabaret. We have never had, nor will we have anyone who could surpass Lane’s ability to delve into the human character and portray it directly with such strength. With his inimitable smile. His departure has left our stage without a grand master whose work was the backdrop of generations who respected him and looked forward to each of his new characters. Allow me to express my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Milan Lane Gutovic”, says Ivica Dacic in his letter of condolences on the death of Milan Lane Gutovic.
