A 26 -episode web series called
#SamoKažem (
#JustSayin in English) combines everything local (and non-local in fact) youth is interested in - friendships, dating, music & love, but also weak education system and high level of youth unemployment... It's just a snippet of everything #SamoKažem crew is covering within this unique & creative project. The world is obsessing about internet and social media, and #SamoKažem falls in the right in the right gap - a mix between virtual and realistic society.

1. You’re portraying one of the main characters named Aleksandra – she’s an ambitious party girl that knows what she wants. How did you relate with the character and is it anything like you?
I had so much fun playing the character of Aleksandra. She's a very emotional girl that wants to hide her soft side just to keep her problems out of her friends' eyes. Aleksandra acts like most young girls do while becoming women - she experiments, acts wild, not thinking about the consequences... She is taking every moment and making it to a story to last... I do see myself a lot in her, and I sort of went few years back to the time when I was thinking that freely, without any regrets.

2. Regarding your past experience, how is #SamoKažem different from other projects you’ve worked on?
It was much much more different than any other project I had ever worked on. When I read the script I was thinking how it's going to be just another story about how the Balkan people should all be in love and how the hatred needs to stop etc. But when I met other actors and we started to work together, we really got to known each other, and I fell in love with each and every one of them... I think that this project made me realise how cool it is to forget about your nationality and just enjoy the people that surround you - to see where that love can go, on and off the screen. I also loved the fact that we were working with a young director. She gave us the chance to improvise and to enjoy the moments we were creating. Plus, the episodes were shot in many different places, so I had the pleasure to travel around Balkan.

3. #SamoKazem is definitely a unique project within our region, and even Europe. What do you think about the idea of a youthful series based solely online?
I personally believe that this is a great idea. A lot of people don't have time to watch television in a particular timing so this is a great chance to watch something interesting. And on the other hand everybody is on-line and they are going to be able to watch the episodes any time, as many times as they want.
