Rodoljub Roki Vulović
Rodoljub Vulović (; born on 1 May 1955) also known by his stage name Roki Vulović () is a Bosnian Serb folk singer and songwriter. He is often described as part of turbo-folk, and is known for his Serbian nationalist songs. He is most famous for his 1992 album Semberski junaci and the single "Panteri – Mauzer" which is about Garda Panteri, an elite unit in the Army of Republika Srpska. Early life 
Vulović was born on 1 May 1955 in Bijeljina, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina into a Serbian-Montenegrin-German family. His grandfather was from Montenegro. His father was a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II. Musical career

Vulović started on stage in 1975 with a first studio album Kristina (Christina). In 1988 he released the studio album Paša and he started a concert tour in Western European countries with a significant number of the Serbian diaspora. 1992–1997 : Fame during the Yugoslav Wars
During the Yugoslav Wars, his hometown Bijeljina was destroyed; Vulović subsequently joined the 1st Brigade of Semberska. He released a studio album Semberski junaci (Heroes of Sember) in 1992 dedicated to the injured during the Bosnian War. The album made him popular among Serbs and Balkan region with the song "Panteri – Mauzer" (Panthers of Mauzer) praising the Garda Panteri, which was an elite unit of the Army of Republika Srpska. After the album's success, Vulović enlisted into Garda Panteri himself. He recorded more studio albums which were nationalist and against NATO, including Panteri (Panthers) (1993) and Crni Bombarder (The Black Bomber) (1995). On Crni Bombarder, Vulović sings about Operation Deliberate Force, which was an operation during the Bosnian War that took place on 30 August 1995. Vulović released his last studio album Zbog tebe (Because of you) in 1997 and stopped performing. After he stopped performing, he became a professor at Mihajlo Pupin Technical School and worked as a chairman of Serbian Polytechnic and Pharmacy School until 2013. Vulović is controversial due to his Serbian nationalism and anti-NATO views during war. However, his songs do not mention any specific nations or countries and avoid bias and racism in lyrics, which isn't common among other Serb nationalist singers. Once his songs became available on the internet, (especially on YouTube) he and his songs became popular internationally. Personal life
He is married to Serbian musician Jelica Vulović and has two children, Vladimir and Milijana. He can speak French and Italian fluently, and also speaks German. His hobby is travel to foreign countries, especially to Western Europe countries where many Serbs live. However, his entry visas to the United States were denied several times due to the anti-NATO songs made by him during 1990s
