HERZEGOVINIAN Stojan Miličević, who has lived in Germany for many years, in the town of Calw, is probably the record holder for the number of new Mercedes cars he has bought over the past 55 years. Namely, during his life he drove between 55 and 60 Mercedes cars and all of them were owned by him.

His son Željko Miličević, who nominated him in the selection for Herzegovinian of the Year, says that his father bought a new Mercedes almost every year for the past 55 years, and he bought the latest one in 2023. In August, Stojan will once again buy a brand new Mercedes, writes Fenix-magazin.

“The love for Mercedes is in Herzegovinians' blood,” says this 86-year-old retiree jokingly, who arrived in Germany in 1966, where he worked for a year as a construction worker, and then in 1967 got a job at the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen factory.

Today he owns two Mercedes cars

That factory is considered one of the world's leading centers for safety, innovation and design in the production of upper-class and luxury-class vehicles in the global production network. Stojan continued working at the Mercedes-Benz factory until 1998, when he retired.

Since retiring, Stojan spends part of the year with his wife Anka in Herzegovina, more precisely in Čapljina, and the other part in the German town of Calw. Stojan and Anka are parents of three children and have two grandchildren. Perhaps his job at the Mercedes factory was also the reason why Stojan fell in love with that car brand, of which he has had more than 50 in his life, as he says.

Today he owns two Mercedes cars. Stojan says he bought his first Mercedes back in 1969, and from then until today he has bought a new Mercedes almost every year.

“Unfortunately, we do not have photographs of all those Mercedes cars, but we do have a photograph of his first Mercedes from 1969. Namely, Mercedes workers have the right, even after retirement, to buy new Mercedes cars at a large discount, all the way until the end of their lives,” says Stojan's son Željko.
