Ceca Ražnatović: I don't plan to remarry, I want a mature man

Popular singer Ceca Ražnatović said she enjoys being alone and does not plan to remarry, adding that formal marriage means little to her.

On her view of marriage she was blunt: "Well, let those who want get married... Paper means nothing to me and I think I'll never marry again."

Explaining her current lifestyle she said she has no boyfriend and prefers the freedom to travel and return home when she chooses. "I don't have a boyfriend and I don't intend to have one! I go where I want and I come home when I want. Long live freedom! I'm happiest when I don't have a partner by my side. It frustrates me to constantly call someone. Finally I live the way I want, and that is to travel constantly and enjoy."

What would it take to win her over

Ceca described the qualities she would look for in a partner: maturity, mutual respect and clear expectations. "For me, love is compromise, respect and appreciation. Partners must find each other, be mature and clearly know what they want from one another. Love is a two-way street; you will get as much as you give. In the end, chemistry matters too. There must be attraction."

She also recalled an extreme episode with a man who tried to jump her fence to declare his feelings, but dismissed such behaviour. "One tried to jump over the fence of my house to declare his love to me, but I don't want to talk about such psychopaths."

A week ago Ceca had an emotional moment on the talent show Zvezde Granda when Macedonian winner Bojan Ilievski returned as a guest and premiered his new song Opraštam. His performance received a loud ovation and, after thanking his first mentor, he said: "I want to say something about my first mentor, Ceca. I'm probably very grateful to you. Ceca was the first person who opened the doors and the path for me in this competition. Thank you, Ceca, from the heart!" Ceca went down to the stage and embraced him.
