Ovations for Princ at Lisinski! Princ premieres „Mila“ in Zagreb

This year’s PZE winner and Serbia’s representative at the Eurovision Song Contest – Princ, has begun his promotional tour, with the first stop on the road to Basel being the Croatian capital.

Stefan Zdravković, known as Princ of Vranje, performed at the iconic „Vatroslav Lisinski“ concert hall, where he premiered his winning song „Mila“ live in a new arrangement, produced by the renowned musician and producer Željko Joksimović.

The evening was filled with emotions and thunderous applause from the audience, who warmly welcomed the young artist. In a packed Lisinski, Princ began his performance with a humorous introduction:

„As we say in Vranje – just let me take a sip of water. It’s truly a great pleasure to be here tonight. This is my first performance in Croatia, my first performance in Zagreb, and my first time at Lisinski. It still feels unreal that I will be representing Serbia at Eurovision. This is also the first time we are performing ‘Mila’ live in its new arrangement, with the involvement of Željko Joksimović.“

His performance received a roaring ovation, and the audience enthusiastically embraced the powerful ballad, which carries an ethno sound and deep emotional strength. This event marks the beginning of Princ’s promotional activities, which will take him through various European cities ahead of his performance on the grand Eurovision stage in Switzerland.

Special guest at The Frajle’s concert

In addition to his solo performance, Princ was a special guest at the concert of the well-known Novi Sad-based band The Frajle, who organized a musical spectacle at Lisinski as part of the birthday celebration of the magazine Story.

The concert was filled with emotional performances and an incredible atmosphere, featuring surprises – one of them being Princ’s appearance on stage.

In a duet with The Frajle, Princ performed the beloved hit „Nedostaješ mi ti“ by the late Oliver Dragojević, which sparked ovations from the audience. He then performed „Mila“ once again, further elevating the energy in the concert hall.

After the performance, Serbia’s Eurovision representative shared his impressions:

„Lisinski is a big deal, especially since this was my first performance in Croatia. I was overjoyed and honored to be a guest at The Frajle’s concert. I respect them a lot, and we share mutual admiration. We’ve also collaborated before on the promotion of their album in Serbia.“

The road to Eurovision – from Zagreb to Amsterdam

Following his victory at Pesma za Evroviziju in Serbia, Princ is now in full preparation for his big performance in Basel. His song „Mila“ has already captured the attention of Eurovision fans, and the new arrangement further enhances its emotional intensity and mystical atmosphere. His promotional tour offers a chance to present himself to the European audience, and the Zagreb concert was a fantastic start.

The audience at Lisinski proved that music transcends borders – „Mila“ resonated through the concert hall, and Princ once again demonstrated why he is considered one of the most promising young artists in the region.

Beyond his performance in Zagreb, Princ is set to appear at one of the most important pre-Eurovision concerts – „Eurovision in Concert“ in Amsterdam, taking place on April 5. This event gathers numerous Eurovision contestants and fans, providing artists with an opportunity to showcase their songs live in front of a broad audience and strengthen their promotion before the main competition.

In addition to this year’s Serbian Eurovision representative Princ, the concert in Amsterdam will also feature past Serbian Eurovision participants – Konstrakta and Luke Black.

We eagerly await his performance in Basel and believe that he will proudly represent Serbia on the biggest European music stage!
