Eternal fashion show at the old Freedom square 

And the heart flutters for a moment

A dancing coat

No, it’s not hers

Đorđe Balašević would sing at a winter concert if he were with us today.

The Freedom square in his song is not the one in Tuzla, but in Novi Sad, but who knows, maybe he was thinking about the one in Tuzla when he sang this great song in 2017 at the stadium Tušanj.

Who knows, maybe our hearts will flutter, maybe some new loves will be born, and old ones will be revived, in the festive atmosphere of the City of Salt.
