In January 2008 he transferred to Hertha BSC for a fee of €3 million, which makes him the most expensive player in the history of FK Vojvodina.

On 7 September 2008, Kačar scored five goals for the Serbian Under-21 team in their 8–0 demolition of Hungary Under-21 in a qualifying match for the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. In the tournament, in June 2009, he was the scorer of the only goal Serbia scored in three matches.

On 21 August 2010, Kačar debuted for his new team HSV, coming on as a substitute for Eljero Elia in the 79th minute of a 2–1 home turf win against Schalke.
