The instrumental is not on this cd and neither is the first version (see below).

In 2018 a new instrumental version was released by Milan Nikolic (Milaan)  & Banda on the CD Bravos (PGP RTS CD 419546)

Cipela (Shoe) is available on the CD Beovizija 2009 including all songs from the Serbian national final.
This Cipela version is different from the one on the final (12-track) promo.-The intro is not a fade in like the final version, and the new version has some additional electronic instruments.-

Speaking In Tongues
Language versions have always been a treasured tradition in Eurovision from 1956 on. So far the cobblers from Serbia have the most recorded language versions this year. But it's the very first time a non Israeli entry has been released in Hebrew by the original artist. If Cipela in all its versions gets a proper cd-release the Eurovision Collectors Guide award for being fantastic is in the bag.
Record holder is Latvia's 2004 song Dziesma Par Laimi by Fomins & Kleins which was released in 10 languages (9 on a cdsingle).
Cipela now shares the #2 position with Vicky Leandros' 1972 winner Après Toi and Nicole's 1982 winner Ein Bisschen Frieden which both have been released in 7 languages. (Nicole's Russian version was only performed live (on TV) but no studio version was released.)

Now guys, it's been a while since we had a Japanese version.....
* Mine plays the same 4 seconds over and over and has two empty tracks.
Still: Special thanks to the people at RTS and thanks to Roy for spotting the differences.
