Tito slept with masseurs, and Jovanka was not good for his health: Snezana Savic in the role of Jovanka Broz
Actress Snezana Savic, 68, plays the lead role in the new Serbian documentary-feature series "Jovanka Broz and the Secret Services", which began airing on RTS. She played Jovanka Broz, Tito's wife, in later years.
Savic was exhaustively preparing to reliably capture Jovanka Broz.
- It is a story about an epoch and the time that these people marked with Josip Broz Tito at the helm, as well as with his companion Jovanka. She is a national hero, an officer and a woman who was endowed with courage in the war, one of the most beautiful women in the world who has always captivated with her appearance. There are many untold stories here. It was speculated that she was strict, perfectionist, dismissing all those she did not like for various reasons. Jovanka was an extremely strong woman - said Savic.
- Towards the end of Tito's life, when they were not on great terms, she received an invitation to celebrate the New Year with him. Jovanka did not agree to that, because Tito was previously involved in the affair with two masseurs, which she later called concubines. She repeatedly stated that she suffered a lot only out of stubbornness and said that she outlived all her enemies - said Snezana.

The actress for "Flash"She revealed how she was preparing for the role.
- I studied a lot about her. Her personality, the way she spoke, the way she walked, the color of her voice, the intonation. I tried as much as possible, of course in moderation, to convey it all to the audience. Jovanka will be portrayed in a faithful way. Physically I remind her, we have similar facial features. The costumes and the mask additionally contributed to remind me of her - said the actress.
The actress says that she plays Jovanka before the parting with Tito, when she went into isolation and when they rarely met.
- The version of Jovanka's story is that they managed to separate him from her, because she allegedly loved the government and wanted to take the throne. In the end, they managed to separate Tito from Jovanka, because she interfered too much in everything, set different conditions. Many claim that this in some way bothered Tito. That is my personal view. And maybe time is doing its thing, maybe she just got bored. A woman who constantly pressures him. They were convinced that she was harming his health and that he should be alone. She was separated from Tito because she interfered too much in politics - concluded Savic.
