The background music provided for these speeches are from other songs from Krunica's discography, most notably from his poem recitals heard in [[Srpska zora]] and [[Srpska zora-2]]. Much like the label's previous release, [[Slava junaku|''Slava junaku'']], this not only features social commentary on the state of affairs in Yugoslavia, but also acts as a memorial for Giška. | |||
The cover art is a mirrored picture taken from a baptism in a Medak church. The image is one of the last pictures taken of Giška before he died.<ref>Vojislav Milić. ''Moj sin Đorđe Božović Giška''. p. 3. 1999. Retrieved 5 November 2024.</ref> | |||
The album would fade into obscurity following its release. Although a site dedicated to Krunica was founded and featured works both found and lost from him in the early 2000's, ''Zaveštanje'' was never featured nor mentioned on the site. A lot showcasing the single's cover was discovered, though it would not be until 2024 where user RandomAtribute20k would obtain a copy and post its contents online. | The album would fade into obscurity following its release.
