Tose Proeski - Jos Uvijek Sanjam Da Smo Zajedno

Almost 28 months since the brightest star on the Balkan's music scene faded away. This Sunday was Tose 's 29th birthday. 

One more release from him, post mortem. “Jos Uvijek Sanjam Da Smo Zajedno” is a master piece ballad that only proves the quality of the Macedonian mega star.

Four days ago, all the Balkan music elite were in Skopje, in “Boris Trajkovski Arena”, on the humanitarian concert dedicated to Tose Proeski. In front of more than 10 000 fans they promoted the tribute album, and the new video. The money from this concert and the album are going to be invested in the monastery that Proeski started to build above Krusevo, his home town.

Jos Uvijek Sanjam Da Smo Zajedno

Od kad te nema..ne mogu budan biti..
Jer sve sto zelim..u tome budes i ti..
Pa budan sanjam da snovi duze traju...
U svakoj prici ti si mi na kraju...

Ti si pocetak i kraj..
Ti si tama i sjaj..
Svaku mi nadu dijelis po pola..
Dajes mi mrvice sa svoga stola..
I znam...bez tebe ostat cu sam..

Jos uvijek sanjam da smo zajedno..

'Ko nekad davno ti i ja...
Al' jutro svaki put mi pokvari tu slatku prevaru iz sna...
Jos uvjiek sanjam da smo zajedno...
I da je sve 'ko prvi put...
Al' jutro nosi golu istinu...da sve je bilo uzalud..

Od kad te nema..
Nema ni pola mene...
Jer sve u meni od tog dana vene...
Pa budan sanjam da snovi duze traju...
U svakoj prici samo ti si mi na kraju...

Ti si pocetak i kraj..
Ti si tama i sjaj..
Svaku mi nadu dijelis po pola..
Dajes mi mrvice sa svoga stola..
I znam...bez tebe ostat cu sam..

Jos uvijek sanjam da smo zajedno..
'Ko nekad davno ti i ja...
Al' jutro svaki put mi pokvari tu slatku prevaru iz sna..
Jos uvjiek sanjam da smo zajedno...
I da je sve 'ko prvi put...
Al' jutro nosi golu istinu...da sve je bilo uzalud...

Krusevo - ethno town

Krusevo (Macedonian: Крушево, Aromanian: Crushuva) also spelt Krushevo, is a town in the Republic of Macedonia. It's a picturesque mountain town. Situated at an altitude of 1,350 metres (4,400 ft), Krusevo is the highest town in the Republic of Macedonia. 

Krusevo is known for its many fine examples of 19th century domestic architecture. The town is full of old and more recent houses built in the style of old Macedonian architecture. The town of Krusevo is the seat of Krusevo Municipality.



The name of the town in other languages is:

* Aromanian: Crushuva
* Albanian: Krusheva
* Turkish: Kruşova, Kuruşova
* Greek: Κρουσοβώς

Krusevo is a living museum, famous for its traditional architecture, cultural sites, and legacy as the site of the great 1903 Ilinden uprising against Ottoman domination. The rebellion failed, but its memory is cherished in Macedonia even today, as a symbol of the national struggle for freedom and democracy; while it lasted only 10 days, the Krusevo Republic of revolutionary leader Nikola Karev represented a desire for self-rule under a modern European political system. 

Today an enormous monument on the hill above Krusevo marks the elusive dream of the Ilinden revolutionaries.



During the Ilinden Uprising in 1903 the rebels proclaimed a short lived Krusevo Republic. Having suppressed the uprising the city was almost completely destroyed by the Ottoman army.The republic known as Krusevska republika was established here in 1903 during the Ilinden insurrection. 

One of the most important points in the Ilinden uprising was the declaration of the "Manifesto of Krusevo". It called for all the people of Macedonia regardless of their nationality and religion to fight together against the Ottoman Empire and live peacefully in a free country of Macedonia.



The town is full of old and more recent houses built in the style of old Macedonian architecture. It is home to Meckin Kamen, an historical landmark which marks the spot of the uprising of 1903. On 2 August every year, it is the site of the traditional Macedonian Independence Day celebrations, which are attended by the President of Macedonia and other Macedonian political leaders.

Krusevo also hosts the "Makedonium" monument to the Ilinden Uprising and a number of museums of the Ilinden Uprising.The towns galleries include an exhibit of 19th century icons and a memorial to the master of modern Macedonian painting Nikola Martinovski who was born in this town.

Because of its elevation, Krusevo is one of Macedonia’s winter sports destinations; the same quality also makes this pine-forested getaway a comfortable destination in summer, when the Krusevo air stays cooler and more pure than in the arid lowlands.

There is a project called "Krusevo ethno-town", supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Macedonia, developed by few enthusiasts. 

According to that project, Krusevo shall look like a town from the beginning of the 20th century, while it was the center of the Macedonian Ilinden Uprising in 1903, leading to the creation of the first Republic on the Balkans "The Krusevo Republic". People will be dressed like Ottoman Turks and Macedonian revolutionary freedom fighters. The project wants to make Krusevo a main tourist destination in five years.

Tose Proeski - Jano mori

Todor "Toše" Proeski (Macedonian: Тодор „Тоше" Проески) (January 25, 1981 – October 16, 2007) was a famous Macedonian pop singer. 

He was popular across the entire Balkan area and further north, and locally he was considered a top act of the Macedonian music scene. Proeski was known for his trademark quote "Ve sakam site" (I Love You All), and called "Elvis Presley of the Balkans" by BBC News.He died in a car crash in Croatia on October 16, 2007.


During the early morning of October 16, 2007, at 6:20 a.m., Proeski died in a car accident on the Zagreb–Lipovac highway near Nova Gradiška, Croatia. He was a passenger along with his manager Ljiljana Petrović in a Volkswagen Touareg driven by Georgij Georgijevski. 

The Touareg crashed into the back of a truck and then into the median barrier, killing Proeski instantly, crushing the third vertebrae of the neck, although the truck sustained no damage. Proeski was asleep in the front passenger seat at the time of the crash. Of the other two passengers, only the driver suffered serious injuries (head trauma).


Proeski's body arrived at midnight in Skopje by helicopter of the Macedonian army, and was transported by car to his home town Kruševo. Grieving citizens gathered to pay their last respects at the airport and also in Macedonia Square. The Embassy of the United States of America, the USAID and the Diplomatic mission of the European Union published official statements on the death of Toše Proeski. 

October 17 was pronounced a national day of mourning in Macedonia. The three days following his death were pronounced days of mourning in the City of Kruševo.


After his death, the government of the Republic of Macedonia, gave him the title "Honorable citizen of Macedonia"
