Regional news regarding Croatian singers

Overview

Croatian singer Maja Šuput reported significant business growth through her company, ŠUPUT d. o. o., which saw a 43.8 percent revenue increase to 898,652 euros.

Meanwhile, singer Indira Levak has addressed public backlash following her performance at the opening of the Banja Luka waterfront in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The controversy arose from video footage showing Banja Luka Mayor Draško Stanivuković joining Levak on stage to dance during her song ‘Svijet voli pobjednike’. Critics, including activist Marin Medak, targeted the interaction due to the mayor’s previous political statements regarding the wars of the 1990s and his views on the Srebrenica genocide.

Levak denied allegations of inappropriate nationalistic displays or political messages, clarifying on social media that the mayor joined the stage spontaneously. She stated, ‘My job is to entertain people, and if I can also reconcile differences and spread love, no one would be happier.’ Levak emphasized that she respects her identity and country while performing for citizens across the region. In response to the controversy, some activists in Croatia have called for a boycott of Levak’s upcoming concert at the Zagreb Arena.
