Jelena Tomasevic: 15th Anniversary Concert Planned in Ohrid

Jelena Tomasevic and Ivan Bosiljcic are marking 15 years of marriage this year. They will not mark the anniversary with family alone. There will be a concert, and it will be in Ohrid.

The singer announced it herself, in a statement to the media, and immediately invited the public to join in.

For our 15th wedding anniversary there will be a concert in Ohrid. We’re celebrating 15 years of marriage with our audience.

Bosiljcic extended the invitation to everyone. He told a Macedonian outlet:

Everyone is welcome, we’re celebrating together. Love, that’s everything!

No date has been announced. Nor has it been said exactly where the concert will take place, or when tickets go on sale. For now, only the city and the occasion are known. Ohrid is in North Macedonia, on the shore of Lake Ohrid.

”We choose each other every day”

The announcement came about almost in passing. The couple was responding to compliments about their appearance when Tomasevic replied:

Thank you for the compliment. This year we’re celebrating 15 years of marriage. We choose each other every day!

Bosiljcic thought he had heard something else. He turned to her and burst out laughing.

What did you say? Ah… Thank God you tell me every day, yes!

For the show “Stars Show,” Tomasevic added just three words: “And love, and life.”

That is the full extent of what the couple has said about the anniversary so far. No date, no set list, no announced guests. The news came out as a sentence in conversation, not as a press release from management.

What happened to Jelena Tomasevic in Bar?

The singer recently fell ill during a concert in Bar. She later explained the cause in some detail, without mincing words.

I caught a virus that inflamed my middle ear and dislodged the crystals in my ears. I even joked the next day that I’d come down with vertigo, since I had sung the song by that name. It’s temporary, I saw a doctor who repositioned the crystals in my ears with a single maneuver and the dizziness stopped, but I had to rest for a few days.

She said something similar had happened to her once before in her career, and that she would not make the same choice again.

Honestly, nothing like that had ever happened to me before. I had a recording session the day before, and I didn’t want to cancel the concert because of the virus. That morning I had dizzy spells that eased off during the day, then came back in the evening. Had I known, I would have canceled the concert in time, I wouldn’t have put myself in that situation. Everyone rushed to help right away, the ambulance service, doctors from the audience gave me first aid, and I thank them all, I really felt looked after.

So the cause was a virus, and the treatment was a single maneuver from a doctor and a few days of rest. The dizziness, she says, has stopped. Help on the spot came from the ambulance service and from doctors who happened to be in the audience that night, whom she thanked by name for their help.

Where the examination took place and which doctor carried it out, she did not say. What she left behind was the explanation, then the gratitude.
