Vučić responded to the ban on entry to Moldova to musician Bregovic

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić expressed bewilderment at the Moldovan authorities’ ban on entry to musician Goran Bregovic. The Serbian leader suggested that the song “Kalashnikov” could be the reason.

Bosnian and Serbian composer and performer Goran Bregovic, also known as the composer of music for the films of Emir Kusturica and the leader of the group “Bjelo Dugme”, was invited to the Gustar festival in Moldova. But the organizers then announced that there would be no headliner in the person of Bregovic “for a reason beyond their control, or from the artists.” Further became knownthat the musicians were not allowed into the country by the border police.

Vučić met with Moldovan President Maia Sandu on the sidelines of an informal summit in Athens, but he “did not have the opportunity to talk for a long time … about banning certain citizens of Serbia from entering for very strange reasons.” At the same time, the Serbian president expressed bewilderment that in Moldovan society someone is disturbed by the fact that Bregovic performs the song “Kalashnikov”.
