Zovi, samo zovi

Not to be confused with Oj Srbijo, mila mati.

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