The award-winning radio show was a life-story feature on Bosnian singer Amira Medunjanin. Medunjanin was a guest on the long-running program and sung traditional Bosnian songs whilst taking about her life in war-torn Sarajevo to reaching success on the world stage. Grgurić was the only finalist in the category outside of English-speaking countries, with nice candidates from the USA, Canada, UK, and New Zealand. It is the first time that a Croatian program has been at the prestigious awards.
