Legendary Balkan singer Zdravko Čolić performed a three‑hour concert at the Petar Milosevski Stadium in Bitola, Macedonia, attracting between 15,000 and 20,000 attendees from across North Macedonia and neighboring Balkan countries. The event, organized by Avalon Production, was promoted as a regional music celebration ahead of the Ilinden holiday and marked Čolić’s only summer concert in Macedonia this year.
