Viktor Dimitrievski photographed with Kaliopi after his triumph

Winner of the 11th season of the veteran singing show Never Too Late, Viktor Dimitrievski, has kept collecting memorable musical moments after his victory. The 48-year-old from Kumanovo shared a new emotional post on social media following a recent appearance in Zlatibor.

In a photo he posted on Facebook, Dimitrievski is pictured alongside pop diva Kaliopi and offered a public, heartfelt thank-you. He wrote: "Now I finally managed to thank you for the 10 in the final of 'Never Too Late'! Thank you, Kaliopi," signing the message as a grateful winner.

From engineer to audience favorite

Dimitrievski trained as an electrical engineer and works as an energy policy consultant, a background that contrasts with the stage presence that won over viewers. His modest demeanor, charisma and rich voice became the pillars of his run on the show.

His road to victory included standout moments, beginning with an emotional duet with his father, Milovan, when they performed the traditional song "Da znaesh, mori mome." The finale featured a historic first for the competition: a performance of the timeless "Kirjana vino prodava".

With votes from a loyal audience, Dimitrievski lifted the winner's trophy for North Macedonia. The photograph with Kaliopi and endorsements from some of the country’s biggest musical names were presented alongside his post as fresh evidence that talent and emotion can make dreams come true — and, in his case, that it is indeed never too late.
