Long before the corona virus came to us and forced us all to maintain social distance, the Serbian Fanta Petrovic chose on his own initiative to isolate himself from the population and live in a tiny cave on a mountain in Bessarabia - far from the town details where he lived until 18 years ago.
On one of his rare visits to the city, the 70-year-old recluse discovered about the epidemic and immediately ran to get vaccinated - even though he lives completely alone and his chances of getting infected are close to zero.
Despite his life of isolation, Petrovic told AFP that the virus had no restraints: "He will come here, too, to my cave. I am not immune just because I live alone."
He admits he "doesn't understand the fuss" that people who don't want to get vaccinated do.
He told how he is not willing to settle for just the first two dishes and is already looking forward to the third: "I call on every citizen to get vaccinated, each and every one of you."

Petrovic's humble home is located on the Stra Plana mountain in southern Serbia, 350 kilometers from Belgrade, and is accessible only by a steep climb. He spends the summer in a hut on an 8-foot-tall tree and the winter in a cave. Petrovich sleeps on some benches and a pile of hay and uses a rusty bathtub for the bathroom.
Until 18 years ago Petrovic worked as a mechanical engineer for a cargo ship in France. He calls his previous life "feverish" and discovers that he has been married several times in the past. He says he has six children from four different women. However, Petrovich has always loved nature and told AFP that it felt like a natural progression for him to move to live in nature and stay away from capitalist society. He said: "I have not been free in this city. There has always been someone in your way - either you argue with your wife, or with the neighbors or with the police. Here no one bothers me."
Petrovich lives on food he finds around the mountain, such as mushrooms and fish from the local creek.
However, he also walks downtown to look in bins for discarded food.
He recounted how his visits to the city had become more frequent in recent times.
The monk used to raise animals near the cave, however wolves killed some of them, so he was forced to move those who survived to a hut he built on the outskirts of the city.
Petrovich had about thirty dogs and cats, a number of goats and a flock of chickens.
The mother of some of the cats was killed by a wolf and since then Petrovich has had to feed them with a syringe.
His favorite animal was an adult piglet named Mara which he found 8 years ago trapped in the bushes.
He took her and cared for her until she recovered.
Petrovich noted how Mara, who now weighs 200 kilograms, became his pet: "She is a real pet for me. She listens to me. She is everything to me," he said, "there is no money in the world that can buy such a thing."
Watch it explain why he decided to get vaccinated against corona:
Petrovich receives welfare benefits, but also relies on donations for food supplies.
Before deciding to move to a cave, Petrovich built a house for his four wives - the mothers of his children - and then donated every dinar of the money he had left from his work abroad to his community. The money financed three small bridges built in the city. Spoils people ":" I think nothing can corrupt a person more than money. "
