Representatives of the Montenegrin pop scene, Bojan Delić and Marko Prentić, will perform at this year's Ohrid Fest, which will last until August 24 in the Macedonian city of the same name.
Delić will perform with the song "Together to the End", which he dedicated to his wife Sonja, for which he wrote the music and lyrics, and the arrangement was done by Marko Đurašević.
"It's a song from the album that came out three months ago and it did well in Montenegro, but nothing can be really good until it goes a little outside, so that festival in Ohrid is one of the steps towards that," he said. is a singer for "Vijesti".
His colleague, a former member of the group "No Name", will present the song he introduced himself at this year's "Suncani skala" - "On the Dark Side of the Moon" in Ohrid. He said that the song was well received at the Herzegovinian festival.

"The set was done live, except for the drums, and I participated a lot in it with my ideas, and I would also like to praise the authors of the text and arrangement, Kaja Milačić and Aleksandar Saša Gajić, with whom I am planning some more projects in the future," revealed Prentić.
Neither he nor Delić think about awards. Their primary concern is to present themselves in the best possible light and make as many contacts as possible.
"It's stupid for a person to expect anything. Let's present ourselves as well as possible, let the songs go as well as possible and that's it. Only at the first festival I attended in 2004 in Budva did I hope to receive an award. After that I felt all that matters is that I present myself as well as possible," Delić admitted.
It will not be the first time for Prentić to perform at the Ohrid Fest, he was there before with the group "No Name", albeit as a revue participant, and now he is coming as a competitor and says that he is looking forward to having the opportunity to present himself to the audience in Macedonia again.
After the Ohrid Fest, Bojan Delić expects to work on a duet with Igor Cukrov, and according to the singer, all this should provide him with better promotion in the region.
"I have known Igor from before. By coincidence, my godfather Darko (Perić) wrote a song for him for 'Sunčane Skale', with which he will also participate in the festival in Ohrid. We came up with the idea through a story, in a friendly way, that we could do a duet We agreed easily, Darko also wrote that song, and these days we need to sit down to agree on how and where we will record it," revealed Delić.
He said that it is a positive love song and added that he hopes it will be published by the beginning of October.
"My goal is to collaborate with colleagues from the region, so this is a small start for everything that is coming. I think that colleagues of our generation should collaborate more, because, currently, music in the region is in a knockdown, in my opinion. so something has to be done about it, to create and fight," Delić believes.
Prentić says that the screen version of the song "On the dark side of the moon" is the closest thing that can be expected from him, but he also reveals that he is working on his instrumental album.
"My first instrumental came out a year and a half ago on a release where mostly the works of Montenegrin authors of instrumental music. I'm going to focus on it a bit, but I won't neglect singing. There are also plans for engagements when it comes to gigs, but more on that later. I also have a lot of songs for which I have to decide if I will perform them or if I will offer them to one of my colleagues," he said.
