divorce with her partner after he finds out about her infidelity and who throws her clothes
through the window of their city apartment. This event in the series shares close resemblance
to the case of singer Vlatka Pokos. Even though author Jelena Veljača denied that the events

October 2008 fired one of the main writers Jelenu Veljaču. She was replaced by Serbian writer
