Series 1 began on October 29, 2013 with a judging lineup of Kristina Kovač, Kiki Lesendrić, Emina Jahović and Željko Joksimović. Even though the production is Serbian, auditions were held in Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia - making the series pan regional. The auditions were hosted by Bane Jevtić with Sneže Velkov as a co-host. Una Senić hosted the spin-off series and co-hosted during the judges houses. After the first two episodes were aired it was rumored that Bane would be replaced by another host, but the producers denied it. On January 14, 2014, Ana Grubin revealed she will be new host, while Una Senić and Sneže Velkov report from the backstage. This series was eventually won by 30-year-old Daniel Kajmakoski who was mentored by Željko Joksimović in the Over 27s category.
