Nekako S Proljeća
''Nekako s proljeća'' is the fifth studio album by popular Yugoslav Sarajevo-based pop rock band Crvena jabuka. The album was released during 1991. Nekako s Proljeća's title track features a guest contribution from Kemal Monteno. This was the first time that the band had ever collaborated with another musician during their career. The album was very successful, and the band was planning a major tour once again, but the Yugoslav wars moving into Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina halted plans. As a result of that, many concert dates had to be cancelled, and the band was starting to break loose. Rhythm guitarist Zlatko Arslanagic had to leave the band during the spring of 1992 when he went to London before coming to Toronto in the summer of 1995. The remainder of the band moved to Zagreb since the start of the war. Zeric opened a cafe in Sarajevo called "Broj Jedan" (#1). A remaster was released in 2003 with all twelve tracks included on the original release plus two tracks tha ...

The conflicts both led up to and resulted from the breakup of Yugoslavia, which began in mid-1991, into six independent countries matching the six entities known as republics which previously composed Yugoslavia: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and North Macedonia (previously named ''Macedonia'').
