Jadranka Barjaktarović
Montenegrin singer
Jadranka Barjaktarović (born 11 October 1981) is a Montenegrin singer. Between 2020 and 2021, she had several controversial performances that were met with numerous condemnations and criticisms in Serbia, the Republika Srpska and a part of the Montenegrin public.
Biography
Barjaktarović was born in the town of Berane, where she grew up and completed primary and secondary education. In 2005, Barjaktarović finished third place in the second season of Zvezde Granda. Two years later, she won the first prize at the festival in Cetinje with the song "Tvoja noć i moja zora" (lit. 'Your Night and My Dawn'). In 2009, Barjaktarović released her first album under Grand Production titled Krv sam tvoja (lit. 'I am your blood'). Apart from releasing six songs within the album, there were also "Laka" (lit. 'Light'), "Neotporna" (lit. 'Irresistible'), and "Tvoja noć i moja zora" (lit. 'Your Night and My Dawn').
In September 2020, Barjaktarović gained public attention after she covered a song by Serbian singer Mitar Mirić at a performance in Podgorica titled "Ne može nam niko ništa" (lit. 'Nobody can do anything to us'), with reworked title and lyrics "Ne može nam niko ništa, jači smo od Srbije" (lit. 'Nobody can do anything to us, we are stronger than Serbia'). After the performance, a large number of singers and media from Montenegro and Serbia condemned her performance.
In June 2021, she performed a song "Sude mi" by Miroslav Škoro and Marko Perković Thompson which glorifies Croatian war general Ante Gotovina.

Why this record matters
The phrase “montenegrin singer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q34634477. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981, 2020, 2021 and 2005.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
