During Carola's Summer tour, Carola International will bring you as many pictures, newspaper articles and reviews as possible.

Both Aftonbladet and Expressen give Carola great reviews, and rate the show 4 (out of 5).

This is the playlist from the concert:

Genom allt
Jag ger allt
Ingenting du säger
Vem kan älska mig
Tro på kärleken
Jag lever livet
Medley: Mickey / Tommy tycker om mig
Stanna eller gå
Fast det är mörkt nu
Främling
Fångad av en stormvind
Evighet

If you have photos you want to share, email them to contact@carolainternational.com and I will publish them on this site.

A Carola International Exclusive report:

As reported earlier, Carola performed at the Music Festival Budva in Montenegro on June 24, her performance was broadcasted live on Serbia's most popular TV-channel Pink.

During her visit, Carola received a lot of attention from the Serbian media. She was interviewed by several major newspapers, TV-channels and radio stations.

"Invincible" is getting a lot of airplay on Serbian national, regional and local radio stations at the moment. Most importantly on Radio S, which is the No 1 Serbian music radio station.

Radio S played their interview with Carola and her Eurovision Song Contest song "Invincible" every 3 hours. They presented Carola as the most popular singer in Sweden the last 20 years.

Carola also appeared on the music TV-channel BalkaMedia TV.

In interviews, Carola announced that she is working on an album adapted for the Serbian market. She confirmed that she will collaborate with Serbian superstar Zeljko Joksimovic (see image above).

The Serbian newspaper Kurir claims that Carola will appear on the new album from popular Serbian-Bosnian group Regina (not yet confirmed).

It sounds like Carola's visit to Montenegro was a huge success!
