Nenad Manojlovic ends 10-year cooperation with Grand and moves to EMDC Network

The well-known folk singer Nenad Manojlovic ended his ten-year collaboration with Grand Production and moved to the digital network EMDC Network, announcing a new phase in managing his online presence.

Under the agreement with the new team, EMDC Network will handle the administration of his YouTube channel and will take care of the digital distribution of his music across all leading streaming platforms.

This change comes at a time when Manojlovic is intensively working on his first studio album. Although he changed his digital distribution team, he remains in collaboration with some of his long-time songwriters — he is working again with Petar Stokanovic, the author of his big hit "Ti meni, ja tebi".

Major changes in the production

Manojlovic's departure is part of a series of changes that have shaken Grand Production in recent days. The day before it was announced that Ana Bekuta is leaving the jury of "Zvezdite na Grand" after 12 years to devote herself to a new album and concert activities, and her place will be filled by colleague Sanja Vucic.

After Bekuta's announcement, former contestant Nikola Gjuric sent her an emotional message: "Dear Ana, thank you for every piece of advice and praise last season, but most of all for the support you gave me behind the cameras. I am sure this competition will not be the same without you. I wish you much happiness, health and success in your future plans."

Also, long-time host Sanja Kuzhet terminated her cooperation with the production by mutual agreement. The audience had hoped for her return after maternity leave in 2024, when she gave birth to her third son, Vuk. In an official statement, the production praised Kuzhet: "We part ways with Sanja in a friendly and correct manner, with great mutual respect, gratitude and appreciation for everything we built together in recent years! With her charisma, energy and professionalism, Sanja left an indelible mark on our production. Her presence was an important part of 'Zvezdite na Grand', and the years spent together will forever remain part of the history of this show. We wish her much happiness and success in future business and life challenges!"

Despite the staffing changes, the competition will continue: in the new season the audience will be hosted by the presenting duo Ana Sevic and Milan Mitrovic.
