Elvir Pelesevic, who lives in Denmark and is originally from one of the ex Yugoslavia countries wrote about a new song released by LAKA who presented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2008 Eurovision song contest in Belgrade, Serbia. Roy from ESC Covers met Laka and really thought he was a nice person and had a good song. So that is why this new release is of interest to ESC Covers.

Ostarih, which in English translates to ‘I Got Old’, is a love song about how important it is to get things done before it is too late.
The video for the song has been filmed in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo. Edvin Kalić, who has collaborated with Laka many times before, directed the video for Ostarih.
