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. Kačar was selected to play for the Serbia u21s at the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship in the Netherlands. He only played one game, against England, losing 0-2.

On Sunday 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. ^[1] In the tournament, in June 2009, he was the scorer of the only goal Serbia scored in three matches.

Off the pitch, he finished high school, and currently is a student of the Faculty of Technical Sciences in his hometown of Novi Sad.
