Katarina Grujic is spending her performing season in Budva this summer, singing every other night and passing her free days with daughter Katja, the singer said in an interview with Kurir. She says the season has been excellent and that turnout at the shows has been strong.
On the Montenegrin coast, Grujic is not just a guest who drops in for a few songs and heads home. There, she says, she also runs a business that operates all year long. She owns property in Kolasin and rental accommodation in Montenegro, so the coast stopped being only a holiday spot for her a long time ago and became part of the family business.
She admits she has kept the mix of career and a two-city life under control for several seasons now. Summer is for the stage, the rest of the year is for the rental work. She takes her daughter along whenever she can, so the shows and motherhood blend together.
Why won’t she sell her property in Montenegro?
Asked whether she is thinking of cashing in while demand on the coast is high, the singer answered firmly. “There’s no selling it. Something has to be left for my children too,” Grujic said.
The property, she adds, works throughout the year, not only during the summer months when Budva is packed with tourists. Kolasin, as a mountain resort, keeps guests through the winter too, so her Montenegro holdings are a steady story rather than a seasonal one. That, she says, is exactly why she has no intention of letting them go. The idea that it will one day belong to her children matters more to her than any quick return.
It is a stance we hear more and more often from home-grown stars: real estate as inheritance rather than fast capital. With Grujic it is stated plainly, because she talks about it without hedging, as a decision that was made long ago.
Katja sings her mother’s songs while Gobeljic trains
While her mother is on stage, little Katja is the biggest fan in the room. Grujic says her daughter shows an interest in singing, acting and music, that she performs her mother’s songs and attends music and drama classes. The singer does not hide that she would love the girl to follow in her footsteps one day, though she adds that for now it all happens naturally, through play.
Her husband, footballer Marko Gobeljic, is a short-stay guest in this summer arithmetic. Grujic says that between training and matches he managed to spend only a few days in Budva before returning to Belgrade for his commitments. Despite a rhythm that often keeps them apart, the singer says she is content with how they function and that Gobeljic is not the type who goes out chasing a night on the town.
The picture Grujic paints is tidy and calm: a summer on the coast, her child beside her, a business that runs out of season too, and a marriage that holds together in spite of the schedule. No big drama, no scandal, and a clear plan for what stays with the children.
Is it smarter for a star to hold coastal property as an inheritance for her children, or to sell while the market is hot?
