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.
