The legendary album with poetry of our great Blaжеe Koneski - "Simple and strict Macedonian song", which this year, after 40 years of vinyl release was released on CD, which through "Free Press" in honor of the holiday September 8 - 30 years of independent Macedonia, and was presented to the Macedonian readership, arrived in Belgrade.

Thanks to the record company "Jugoton Croatia Records" and their representative Natalija Cajic, copies of the album were given to Macedonians in Serbia, and on that occasion the representative of the Macedonian Association in Belgrade, Zorica Mitrovic visited the cult store of "Jugoton" in Nuшиi.

The meeting focused on Macedonian culture, songs, art, as well as the greats - the writer Blaze Koneski, and the musician and actor Zafir Hadzimanov.

And, exactly in the edition of "Jugoton Croatia Records" were released the album with poetry of Koneski - "Simple and strict Macedonian song", in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Blaze Koneski, and a reissue of the CD of Hadjimanov - "Zafir sings, Macedonia sings ”, originally published in 1986, with poetry by Macedonian authors.

The President of the Macedonian Association in Belgrade, Zorica Mitrovic, stressed the importance of cooperation in the field of culture between peoples and nations and expressed hope that a difficult period is behind us. She announced new stories and promotions, which will make many happy.

Ms. Mitrovic was especially moved by Zafir Hadzimanov's video for the song "Last Night I Sit Train", which was recently released by CroRec Digital.

- I heard a lot about your art and the people from Macedonia. I spent a few days at Ohrid Fest and I was convinced of the kindness and cheerful spirit of the people. I was delighted with both the food and the wine.

However, I listened to the most beautiful stories about Macedonian songs from the great artist Zafir Hadzimanov, whose CD "Zafir sings, Macedonia sings" we republished with pleasure. Time passes, but I think I have not yet accepted his departure. Now, when I think of him, I smile. In addition to being a great artist, Zafir had a positive and noble spirit. The good energy of this dear man will always be with us. Mrs. Senka Veletanlic still radiates that nobility, special gift and sense of beauty. Everything is art with her. They are unique people. Gentlemen. Maybe this is personal, but they both permanently warmed me with their tenderness and kind conversations. People will always love their songs and will respect their work - said Natalija Cajic, representative of "Jugoton Croatia Records" for Serbia, expressing gratitude to Ivan Beckovic, who is a highly dedicated collaborator of "Jugoton - Croatia Records" in Macedonia, as and the journalist Zulfi Nazifovski, the chronicler of great stories.
