Linda performed for the US Naval Forces Europe and Africa (NATO Band), which is why she lost the sympathy of our people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, after the first rehearsals, this duo was accused by the audience of being privileged compared to other performers. They were allowed to perform live music, specifically playing parts of a solo violin into the microphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the Swiss representative Veronica Fusaro was prevented from performing solo sections on the guitar live, writes Telegraf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/just-go-forward-and-never-give-up-miladin-cut-off-his-own-leg-during-the-war-to-survive-today-he-educates-children-and-achieves-sporting-successes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cJUST GO FORWARD AND NEVER GIVE UP\u201d: Miladin cut off his own leg during the war to survive, today he educates children and achieves sporting successes!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/dramatic-scenes-in-smederevo-masked-hooligans-attacked-the-crowd-with-bars-and-torches-women-with-children-fled-the-stadium-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DRAMATIC SCENES IN SMEDEREVO: Masked hooligans attacked the crowd with bars and torches, women with children fled the stadium!
