Blagoja served for a long time in the groups of the unattached shooters in Surovichko and Kajlarsko. He fought tirelessly and decisively to complete the missions set by the party.

In December 1948 he was surrounded by the large monarcho-fascist army and MAI in Kajlarsko. After a heroic battle that went for many hours, just before his bullets were finally going to run out, he killed himself. Blagoja fell heroically as a dignified and devoted son of CPG and the people.
