Another response filled in online to a survey. It is the 'do cega' and stati which has thrown me. Shouldn't there be a comma after 'stalo'?
Hvala naprijed!
sve sto do cega nam je u zivotu stalo trebalo bi da ima mesto u nasim zivotima

The sentence "Meni je stalo do..." or "Stalo mi je do...." can be translated into English as "I care about...."
"Čega" is the genitive case of the pronoun "šta" (what).
As regards the comma, it depends on what comes after this expression.

I don't think there should be a comma after "stalo" in the example sentence you cited.

everything we care about in life should have place in our lives
There is no need for 'sto' in the quoted Serbian sentence, and there is no need for a 'coma' after 'stalo'
Example sentence:
sve do cega nam je u zivotu stalo ...
+1

everything that we care about (in life...)
There's an obvious typo, which made the confusion rendering a nonsence sentence:
sto and do cega
it should be either:
sve do cega nam je ...
or
sve sto u zivotu (cenimo, for example)...
sto and do cega can not go one after another, because what you get is a meaningless sentence.
Again, it is not unusual to have such typos in online surveys.
