The Serbian folk singer Aca Lucas is confident in its victory in the Serbian music competition "Eurovision song"Organized by the Serbian Radio Television, but the singer decided to publicly criticize the organization of the competition for non-transparency.

Namely, 53-year-old Lucas thinks that it is wrong that the performers have to pay for their performance.

"RTS subscription is paid by all citizens of Serbia, and in the end the performers pay for the performance of" Eurovision Song Contest 22 ". Both Lukas and Nikolic and I are people with careers and we do not belong to those who will be silent. "We are raising our voices on behalf of those younger performers who can not do that, but we can and will defend their honor," said the Aca team at the conference.

The singer asks the editor of the RTS entertainment program to announce who will be on the jury of the match, and he believes that he has the best chance of winning. As the singer claims, the editor Olivera Kovacevic is allegedly one of those who are against him.

"Last year I said that I would apply for the competition, and Mrs. Kovacevic then said that I would compete only through her dead. But why? Because I do not give money. Aca Lucas goes to a match to win or not to win, but he does not pay to win and he does not pay to go to "Eurovision" because going to "Eurovision" is not paid. Olivera Kovacevic will say who will pay to go to "Eurovision". "This year, I guarantee you, an artist who will not pay for it will go to Eurovision because she will say who the members of the jury are, and the best performer who deserved the victory and for whom the audience voted will go," the singer said sharply.

"We know that I would have the best chance at Eurovision because all the republics of the former Yugoslavia, but also the diaspora, would vote for me. Kovacevic does not like me in Turin and lobbies for someone else, but I will not mention that person because he is not nice. My song is from me for my Serbia. It is not owned by RTS and I do not care what the editors there think. Representing Serbia in the world is not the job of RTS and they will not determine who will represent Serbia in anything, not even in music. Lucas goes to the heart of the game to bring his country the best ranking and result. "I will not carry the workers and the management of RTS in Turin to carry Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags while I have rehearsals," Aca concluded.Novosti.rs".

Shortly after the allegations, RTS responded to the singer and his team, and "Телеграф"Conveyed the statement in full:

"Radio and Television of Serbia, on the occasion of the press conference of one of the participants in the show" Eurovision Song Contest 22 ", Aleksandar Vuksanovic and his expert team, announces that we are unpleasantly surprised by the avalanche of insults, baseless accusations, insinuations and humiliations directed at our media house. As a good host we will provide equal conditions for all performers, and the winner will be decided by an independent and expert jury, as well as the audience. Maybe some people do not like it, maybe some people are used to doing things differently, maybe just as they accuse others of doing it without any evidence or basis. Due to the good atmosphere in the organization and among the contestants of "Eurovision 22 Song", we will not respond to anyone with a bad tone. All allegations against RTS mentioned by the participants will have the opportunity to be proven in the institution where the facts are established. Radio Television of Serbia will organize this competition at the highest level of pride of all citizens of Serbia. "We wish all participants a lot of success and look forward to their participation and cooperation with RTS," they wrote.

According to many, Lucas's biggest competition is the singer Sara Yo.

"I believe that half of the people from Serbia and the region would not give Sara 12 points because they do not even know who she is. Let's understand, I have nothing against Sarah personally, but what is it like to be my competition? "With what?" Lucas recently told "Blitz".

Later in the interview, however, he was more sympathetic to his colleague.

"I listened to her sing, she sings great, of course I listened to her song with which she will go to the competition and I like it very much, it is interesting. "I do not know who will win, but whoever wins will be deserved," concluded Aca.
