René Bitorajac (pronounced [reněː bitorǎːjat͡s]; born 2 March 1972) is a Croatian actor. He appeared in a number of Croatian and Bosnian films since the 1980s. Most notably, he starred in the 2001 Academy Award-winning Bosnian film No Man's Land.[1] He is also known for starring in popular Croatian television sitcoms Bitange i princeze (2005–2009) and Naša mala klinika (2007–2008).
