The song was born and promoted two years earlier, on June 16, 1997, at the ceremonial academy held in the big hall of the Topcider House of Guards, in front of the highest state and military leadership of the country, organized as part of the Yugoslav Army Day.
The performers are the famous vocal soloists Leontina - Extra Nena and Milan Scepovic, accompanied by the orchestra and choir of the Art Ensemble of the Ministry of Defense "Stanislav Binicki".
The song "We love you, our homeland" broke all records in the number of broadcasts on radio and television programs, which brought the author's team and performers a prestigious recognition - the "Golden Melody" award (February 23, 2000).
It was performed on many occasions before and during the bombing of FR Yugoslavia: in barracks, squares, bridges, in the largest halls, and numerous cultural and sports events in the country took place in the sign of the song "We love you, our homeland."
The author gave the handwritten verses of the song "We love you our homeland" to the Archives of Yugoslavia at the request of the leader of that institution of national importance, as a poetic and musical testimony of a complex time in modern history and unrestrained patriotism.
