WESTERN BALKANS – The fifth episode of the You(th) Choose(s) podcast hosted by young journalists from the Western Balkans is taking us on a new musical journey about love. 

Love is probably the most beautiful feeling to be experienced, and when you have the right people by your side there is nothing you cannot achieve. That is why, this episode of the You(th) Choose(s) podcast is in the spirit of love. Andrea, Rejdi, Yill, Marija, Milica, and Gabriela are talking about songs that remind them of someone close to their hearts. Their choices went in many different directions, but all of them paid tribute to their loved ones in their special way. From pop ballads to rap and to rhythmic Latin sound, some of the songs hit close to the heart, especially when you hear the story of our guests that is hiding behind the song.
