Born in Ljig, at the time in Yugoslavia, he became a singer in his childhood. He later became famous for his work on a television series for children entitled Kocka, kocka, kockica (Cube, Cube, Cubelet) which was on the air for several decades on TV Belgrade.
Cube, Cube, Cubelet
In 1974, on Belgrade TV (Channel 1), Branko started the children's TV series Kocka, kocka, kockica (Cube, Cube, Cubelet). Over the next twenty years, 250 episodes were shown, terminating in 1994. In 2003, several new episodes were released in order to try to revive the show, but it never reached the popularity of the original series.
In 1979, the series won a reward on the 12th International Educational Program in Japan for its episode "Run, Run, Little Drops". The episode first aired on April 26, 1978, and was co-written by Ibrahim Hadžić, Branko Miličević and Biserka Pejović.
"The Snail" theatre
"The Snail" theatre was established in 1977 by Milićević and his wife Slobodanka (Caca) Aleksić.
