During the turbulent 1990s and Yugoslav wars, Bogdan largely withdrew from public performances. As he explained, “Simply, I wasn’t in a mood to work. Also, the piracy took so much momentum that I was sick even of thoughts of composing and music… I hope those ugly times have gone and that we would be able to live like humans again”

In 2004, Bogdan performed in Novi Sad for the Exit festival, mostly devoted to pop/rock, also held on Petrovaradin fortress; it was a tribute of new generations to the old bard and the site which was the cornerstone of traditional music.
