Tusta joined KUD Idijoti soon after the beginnings (the band was formed on February 2nd 1981.), after the band changed few guys on the vocalist position.
After he joined, he became the charismatic frontman by which the band would be recognised everywhere. Tusta was also a member of the working class, as he never quits his job, not even when the band reached the peak of their popularity.
He was also a true anti-fascist.

It never happened.

Few days later, the band`s guitarist Sale Veruda announced that KUD Idijoti cease to exist.
In 2014., the city of Pula decided that a stairway near the club "Uljanik" will be called by Branko Crnac - Tusta.
