Later in the same year Baja released the album "[[Gara iz Lončara / Život je tamo]]" in cooperation with [[Dragan Stojković Bosanac]].

Apart from a few singles, Baja only performs live nowadays. His performances have drastically changed in recent times. He stopped performing his overly nationalistic 90s work like [[Ne volim te Alija]] or [[Nemoj sejo nikad za Turčina]] and also quit performing his vulgar songs about alcohol and women. In the late 2000s, the rock band [[Minđušari]] also started to become his backing orchestra, contrary to his previous performances, which were generally all with the local bands of that area. | |||
Baja has had a recent increase in popularity and still is one of the most popular singers in Serbia. | |||
