Bregović's idea was to have Vukov sing the "Ružica si bila, sada više nisi" ("You Were Once a Rose") ballad. However, despite Vukov accepting, the plan never got implemented after the band's manager Marić got detained and interrogated by the police at the Sarajevo Airport upon returning from Zagreb where he had met with Vukov. Mića Popović's contribution to the album was to be his "Dve godine garancije" ("A Two-Year Warranty") painting featuring a pensioner sleeping on a park bench while using pages of "Politika" newspaper as blanket to warm himself, which Bregović wanted to use as the album cover. When approached, Mića Popović also accepted though warning Bregović of possible problems the musician would likely face. Finally, Koča Popović was reportedly somewhat receptive to the idea of participating on the album, but still turned the offer down.
