Watch Pokušaj here!
Bosnia & Herzegovina: Video clip available online
The promotion video has been released, today, just weeks before the contest, and will be sent to broadcasting nations in way of promoting the song.
Laka was internally selected to represent the nation in the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Serbia, and decided to send Pokušaj as the song to defend the country. An English version has already been made available of the song, although the song will be performed completelly in Bosnian on the night.

Laka will perform in the first Semi Final on the 20th May and will also perform at the esctoday.com Eurovision Preview Party on friday night in London's Scala.

I am just trying to teach certain people something they must have known by now. It is ok if you had a war with Serbs, but do not try to change and hide your history, respect it, as this is what bring people closer. Trying to create more differences between Bosnian muslim and Serbian people is so pathetic. We are the same people except the fact that we have different religions. If more people understand this, then there shouldn't be any arguments and wars. I have nothing against muslim people and I respect what you follow. Many of my friends are muslim, but I hate your trying to create totally NEW history eliminating anything related to Serbs.

WELCOME TO SARAJEVO!!

Stop with politics please!
There is a LANGUAGE called BOSNIAN, not a dialect, a LANGUAGE! and Laka sings in BOSNIAN.
End of discussion.
Btw, It´s a great video!

The example you gave me about the diffrence between Bosnian and Serbian laguage is as same as example of difference between COLOR (USA) and COLOUR (AUSTRALIA), or OrganiZation (USA) and OrganiSation (AUSTRALIA).But this does not make an English language called Australian or American - it is all English. Same with Pevac and Pjevac. Grammar rules are the same. And thanks to a Serb Vuk Karadzic, now you have a language with its set rules that everyone in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro follows.
Go Bosnia, Go Laka 
SRETNO LAKA!!!!!!

ok thanks for that and the clarification djamila 
My fav for 2008 - Bosnia!! Great song!
Good luck Bosnia
GO MACEDONIA!! :-)
TK: She's Bosniak, not Bosnian. You know how you hear all the time about "Bosnian Serb", meaning an Orthodox Christian from Bosnia? Well, she's a "Serbian Bosniak", meaning a Muslim from Serbia.
FANTASTIC VIDEO ARTY ALTERNATIVE LIKE ARTIST... MY 12 GOES 2 AMAZING BOSNIAN SONG...
do i have to say that i adore it

@Fabio Deluca:
''It seems you are taking pills that produce brain demage (if you ever had one).'' -- OMG, u owned me! hahahahah, sad!
@Francisco Mateo Artero Demetrio
I agree with u!!!
I quite like it. Pre - contest wise is my No.1...
But lets see, usually the songs I like them before the contest dissapoint me a little bit after.
Like last years Comme Ci Comme Ca...Still feel hurt about it ( the biggest trauma after France's 91 failure to win and Greece's 01, for same reason). Excellent song, one of the best in 00s in my opinion but Evridiki not strong enough on stage -(
i love this song ... this one was something of sigur ros doesn't it?
best of luck
Laka is really funny guy, believe me, there was the situation when the show was stopped because the host and cameramen couldn's go on coz they were laughing that much 
He's just something special
@ Francisco Mateo Artero Demetrio:
Instead of complaining about Bosnia, you should ask yourself what is Spain doing to improve the quality of Eurovision. Not much, in my opinion... If I were you, I'd never dare to complain about the others when my own entry is so dreadful.
@Bojan Z
"Ne silazi sa cardaka, reko mi je pjevac Laka". those are lyrics in bosnian language. In serbian would it be: "...reko mi je PEVAC Laka".
We really dont need haters like you here. I dont see any point from your reaction. what did you want to say or make with it?
the intro is great when the woman sings, however he ruins it all lol it will qualify for sure
hey guys once again pleased with the clip, but can any bosnians let me know if Emina Jahovic is bosnian!!! omg cannot stop listening to uzalud se budim gorgeous balkan ballad, puts another nameless ballad to shame lol
Serbian version is much better than English.
Good luck Bosnia and Herzegovina from Serbia!
P.S. This song is different to all others and I like it more and more.It takes a while until you get the actual meaning of it.
I'm glad to hear that they're singing in Bosnian, the english lyrics are just scary!!! 
This song is really growing on me, its so happy and wierd and I love it!!!
Good luck to Bosnia-Herzegovina
Ok, once again Laka and family act "crazy but funny". Not so funny, since the chicken is missing. Question is: how to make it work on their big night? They´ll go running around the stage, looking stupid, what else... imho this is very hard to sell. Anyway, I don´t like it. No, I don´t.
This is the worst song of the ESC2008
One of my favourietes
hehe it's OK man 
sorry,yes ,i know sound a litle extremist,sorry, but really this year i am dissapointed wit the most of entrys but whatever i go to enjoy the festival like every year,
