They state that as part of the "CIM Night Session", the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy the special concert format "Neustekani", which brings a more intimate and direct experience of music - focused on emotion, story and direct contact with the audience.

They point out that the band, which has shaped the regional music scene for more than four decades, is known for its blend of rock sound, humor and the spirit of New Primitivism, bringing an atmosphere that has marked generations – from the streets of Sarajevo to cult status across the region. The audience will have the opportunity to hear timeless hits such as "Fikreta", "Lijepa Alma" and "Djevojčice kojima miriše koža", as well as songs that are rarely performed live.

"Founded in 1980 in Sarajevo, as part of the New Primitivism movement, Zabranjeno pušenje remains one of the most authentic voices of the regional music scene – a band that, through humor, social criticism, and strong narratives, still manages to remain relevant and close to its audience," CIM Forum states.

They emphasize that this year's edition of the CIM Forum is also given special value by the fact that the band's frontman, Davor Sučić-Sejo Sexon, will participate in the speaking part of the program the following day, where he will share his experiences about creativity, music, and society with the audience.

"The opening of the 5th CIM Forum 2026 with this concert symbolically announces a dynamic and eventful program that combines creative industries, culture and contemporary communication trends. Under the lights of Kotor, the opening night promises an unforgettable experience for all guests," the CIM Forum said.

The event is closed and organized by invitation only.

CIM Forum 2026 will be held from May 28th to 31st in Kotor.

The Forum said that CIM is not just an event – ​​it is an experience. And the concert that opens the fifth edition will certainly confirm that.

"See you in Kotor," said the CIM Forum.
