Zovi, samo zovi

Zovi, samo zovi (Serbo-Croatian for Call, just call) is a Serbian and Croatian patriotic song. It is also known as Oj Srbijo mati ("Oh Serbia Our Mother") in Serbia and in Croatia Oj Hrvatska mati (lit. "Oh Croatia Our Mother"). Serbian and Croatian versions have almost the same lyrics, and both Serbs and Croats like to see the song as their own.^{[citation needed]}
