He allso composed song "Jutro" (Morning) for Jelena Tomasevic - that soposed to be Serbian representative in ESC in Ukrain edition of contest, but due to "ferr" voting in Serb-Motrnegrin preselection when montenegrin members of jury didn't vote for that song at all...
This song - Jutro (Morning) is IMO better than Oro...buth all 4 of song are mine serbovision anthems!!!
(Leila's melody if above all eurovision songs ever - off course IMO)

@Simon Clifford
Except Zeljko hasn't won ESC 3 times yet. :P He really should win though, the 3 songs he has had were so beautiful and he deserves to win! (L) If there's anyone I'd like to see back in ESC it is Zeljko! :)

Lane moje, Lejla and Oro were all wonderful entries and my favourites in each of those years, all better than the winners that they came behind IMO. I will want to hear some more from the album before I buy it though, I don't buy on impulse :D
