They named the band "Ambasadori" not Slobodan Vujovic..they brought him into the band...he is not FOUNDER of the band. After Robert and Srdjan left the band Slobodan Vujovic took over and did extraordinary job...but...,he is NOT THE FOUNDER of the band..it took 3 years to establish "AMBASADORI" band....and Robert Ivanovic brought ZDRAVKO COLIC into band NOT Slobodan Vujovic....all this should be straighten .Right from the get go, most of their activity centered on competitive pop schlager festivals throughout SFR Yugoslavia. They soon started putting out their competitive festival entries as 7-inch (two-side) singles. The band's debut release "Plačem za tvojim usnama" / "Zapjevaj" came out in 1971 for Beograd disk label.
