Serbia's pop-folk legend Lepa Brena and her band Sladki Greh arrived Tuesday in Sofia to thrill fans after more than 17 years since her last concert in the country.

Lepa Brena is to stage a two-hour show in Sofia's Nai Club on Wednesday.

In 1990, on the national stadium Vasil Levski, the Balkan star gathered about 100,000 exalted fans.

Lepa Brena, whose real name is Fahreta Zivojinovic, is the most successful singer of the 1980s in former Yugoslavia, being the first to combine traditional folk music with pop elements.
