In brief
  • Viki Miljkovic has moved from Grand and joined the Pink Stars jury for the new season.
  • Five familiar names will sit at the table: Jelena Karleusa, Zorica Brunclik, Viki Miljkovic, Dragan Stojkovic Bosanac and Dragomir Despic Desingerica.
  • She describes herself as the member who brings emotion and mentoring support to young contestants.
  • She assigned each colleague a clear role at the table, from sharpness to expertise.

Viki Miljkovic has spoken for the first time about the makeup of the Pink Stars jury in the new season, a competition she is now part of herself. After years at Grand, the singer has moved to Pink, and she has revealed who her fellow judges will be and how she sees the division of roles.

The headline that everyone is repeating is that the jury is made up of five well-known names. Alongside Viki, there are Jelena Karleusa, Zorica Brunclik, Dragan Stojkovic Bosanac and Dragomir Despic Desingerica. The mix, she says, is deliberately varied, because each one covers a different part of the scene and a different kind of experience.

Miljkovic says she is not there to be the strictest voice at the table. She sees herself as the one who brings emotion and mentoring support to the scoring, especially toward the young contestants stepping in front of the cameras and the audience for the first time. For her, it matters that a candidate feels there is someone behind the criticism who wants them to grow, not just a score.

How did Viki divide the roles at the jury table?

She gave each of them a recognizable color. She describes Jelena Karleusa as the one who brings sharpness and energy, a voice that will not sidestep a problem if she sees one. She credits Zorica Brunclik with experience and authority, since she has spent decades on the scene and knows the road from beginner to star.

Dragan Stojkovic Bosanac is there, in her words, for the craft, above all the musical and production knowledge that can help a candidate in concrete ways. She sees Dragomir Despic Desingerica as the spirit of the contemporary scene, someone who understands how audiences, social media and the path a song takes to listeners work today.

That division, she insists, is not accidental. The idea is for a young contestant to get five different angles, from the emotional to the strictly professional, and to take something from each. Rather than everyone saying the same thing, the jury should function as a team in which the voices complement one another.

What does the move from Grand mean for the scene?

Viki Miljkovic was for years one of the recognizable faces of talent formats on another channel, so her arrival at Pink Stars did not go unnoticed. For the local music world it is another sign that the cards keep being reshuffled and that familiar names move to wherever they see a new format and a new audience.

Her own message is calm. She says her goal is to help the young performers, not to be part of any rivalry between channels and formats. For viewers who follow homegrown music competitions, the new jury lineup is reason enough to watch how five strong names will work together once the first episodes begin.

But what you probably care about most is the basic question: can a jury like this, with Viki at the table, actually uncover a new star, or will it all come down to a clash of big personalities in front of the cameras?
