Jelena Karleuša at centre of businessman’s love claim and TV judges feud

During the finale of a regional music competition, a prominent businessman publicly announced his intention to "fight for" Jelena Karleuša’s heart, saying, “Kakva riba ova Jelena Karleuša, kad izađem samo ću za njeno srce da se borim.”

In the same broadcast, judge Viki Miljković suggested bringing folk star Ceca onto the panel of “Pinkove zvezde.” Karleuša reacted sharply, noting that she and Ceca are not on good terms and warning that “maybe you’ll see Ceca in September.” Both statements heightened the show’s drama and drew extensive media attention.

The incidents unfolded on a Serbian‑produced program and involved well‑known figures in the country’s pop‑culture scene.
