It is a great pleasure to see Loreen again on stage, especially in the Belgrade – Zeljko Joksimovic commented
And she herself began her career at a similar competition so her support means a lot for the X factor Adria contestants. Cooperation between the two us is possible in the future and I believe that it will be an opportunity to discuss it in the coming months.-The Serbian star added.
