You can watch the entire clip on our YouTube short, but we have also provided an English transcript, plus an extra comment from Slobodan below.

Slobodan Trkulja: The answer to your first question is — to pray.

Eliana:  My second question is about cultural exchange: This July I visited your wonderful country and went to Belgrade, Subotica, and Novi Sad. Is this your first visit to Russia? Would you like to visit not only Moscow but also other beautiful cities in Russia, such as Saint Petersburg, Kazan, or Sochi?

Slobodan Trkulja:  The answer to your second question is — this is not my first visit to Russia. Besides Moscow, I have performed concerts in Saint Petersburg and Khanty-Mansiysk.

Eliana: In your opinion, what makes Intervision different from Eurovision?

Slobodan Trkulija: It’s time to stop comparing Eurovision and Intervision.

Eliana: To whom is your song “Three Little Roses” dedicated?

Slobodan Trkulija: My song is dedicated to my three daughters. Through music, I want to show how children who grew up in the modern world, but on the foundation of traditions, search for their place. In this song, I also speak about how a pine tree grows. This pine tree symbolizes the shoulders of our ancestors on which we stand. And we also know that the pine’s roots grow very deep, just as children seek their place in the modern world while preserving the traditions of their forefathers.

Slobodan will perform his song “Tri ružice” in 18th position of the live Intervision show, which starts at 20:30 (Moscow time) / 19:30 (CET)
