In 1988, an employee of the Canadian Embassy stuck a visa in the passport of citizen Ekrem Jevrić, born sixty-something in Gusinje, Municipality of Plav, Montenegro. Citizen Jevrić went with his wife Igbala first to Canada, where he worked as a manual laborer for several years, and then they moved to the United States of America, where Ekrem works as a taxi driver and construction worker. In America, Igbala gives birth to four sons: Enis, Nermin, Hajrudin and Berat. More than twenty years after leaving the country that was then still called Yugoslavia, Ekrem still declares himself a Yugoslav and still works as a taxi driver and bricklayer (in New York City). He is missing a few teeth, his face is weathered and roughened by the sun and wind, as befits a construction worker. In addition, Ekrem, who lives in New York City, is different from the Ekrem who, 22 years ago, after the death of his father, went to distant Canada on his belly for bread, and in that he is today's star.

But Ekrem Jevric – or the "Borat of the Balkans" as he is becoming known – has succeeded where many others have failed by uniting the former Yugoslavia with his song about the lonely and confusing world of an immigrant abroad.
Jevric's rise to fame in his homeland that he still calls "Yugoslavia", and that until last week he had not visited since its bloody break-up during the 1990s, owes as much to YouTube as to the simple message of his song and video: "Home, Work – Work, Home."
In the song, Jevric, nicknamed "Gospoda" (Gentleman), expresses the culture shock experienced in New York, where dogs and buildings are everywhere, "battalions of women" roam the streets, and families are neglected at home. It has struck a chord in the Balkans, where it has achieved 4 million YouTube hits in a couple of months, a record for any singer from the region. Jevric, in his late 40s, has touched the feelings of millions, and his song has been acclaimed in all the languages of the former Yugoslavia – Bosnian, Croatian, Mac
