Black Volkswagen Touareg claimed to be linked to Tose Proeski appears in Bosnia

A video circulating on social networks shows a black Volkswagen Touareg that its uploader claims was once associated with Tose Proeski, the late Macedonian singer. The clip, posted from Bosnia and Herzegovina, rekindled interest among fans ahead of the anniversary of Proeski's death.

The footage was shared by Zaja Mujcinovic, who says the car spent years locked away in a garage and only resurfaced recently. In his post Mujcinovic described the vehicle's backstory and the emotional value he attributes to its alleged link with the singer.

Owner, timeline and the garage

According to Mujcinovic, the Touareg remained in the possession of a man named Jovo, who later died; after Jovo's death the car stayed sealed in a garage for eleven years. "The black Touareg of Tose Proeski in Bosnia! A car forgotten by time," he wrote when sharing the video.

Interest grew not only among Proeski's admirers but among car enthusiasts, because Mujcinovic also claimed that two different Touaregs were tied to the singer: the black vehicle now shown in the clip and a grey Touareg – the latter being the vehicle involved in the deadly crash.

So far, no documents, registration records or independent evidence have been made public to support the claim that the black Touareg belonged to or was regularly used by Proeski. "Some cars travel kilometres, but this one travelled through time," Mujcinovic added in his post.

Tose Proeski died on 16 October 2007 at the age of 26 in a traffic accident on the motorway near Nova Gradiska in Croatia. Nearly two decades later his music and memory remain important to fans across the region, and every new photograph or story connected to his life draws renewed attention.
