Boki 13

Bojan Jovanovski (Macedonian: Бојан Јовановски; born 19 August 1986), better known as Boki 13 (Macedonian: Боки 13), is a Macedonian former television personality turned political activist and founder of the national television network 1TV.

He was also noted for accusations around the national racketeering scandal in North Macedonia in 2019.

Initially recognised for his androgynous appearance, Jovanovski rose to fame as a contestant in the fourth season of the Serbian spin-off of Celebrity Big Brother broadcast on RTV Pink in 2010, finishing in third place. Later that year, he also appeared in the third series of reality show Farma, but on Day 91 he decided to leave. The following year, Boki 13 was a participant of the reality program Dvor and presented a talk show called Arena B13.

In 2012, he released a studio album, titled Ne plaši se ogledala (Don't Be Afraid Of The Mirrors), under City Records. Only significant stand out from the record was the track "Kaligula" (Caligula), which was given way to him by Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša.

In 2016, after participating in an international project regarding human rights organised by the European Union, Jovanovski became the president of the International Union for Civil Society and Socially Vulnerable in North Macedonia.

In March 2018, however, he launched a national TV network 1TV.

According to Macedonian portal Netpress, Jovanovski was fined with € 15,000 for smuggling designer clothes through Skopje Airport in March 2018.

On July 17 2019, Bojan Jovanovski was arrested by the warrant from the prosecution for organized crime under suspicion of racketeering. This event occurred following the release of a video and an audio recording from an unnamed source by the Italian magazine La Verita, which shows Jovanovski getting paid € 1,500,000 by the Macedonian businessman Jordan Kamchev, who was accused of organised crime, so that Jovanovski influences the prosecutor Katica Janeva, with whom he has close ties to, to judge in the favor of Kamchev. Jovanovski also mentioned that he had contacted the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Zoran Zaev, about the case. Zaev firmly denied these speculations branding them as ungrounded and reminded that he was the one who reported the case against Kamchev.
