During the Bosnian War, he was a member of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and was rumored to have been killed in 1994.[citation needed] A big talent, he played alongside future starts like Zlatko Zahović and Mario Stanić for Yugoslav representative teams, but his career ended at age 22 after he was seriously injured in a road accident where teammate Esad Zilkić died.[2][3]

He was the older brother of Elvedin Varupa.[4]
