I sat down in New York City’s Central Park with Bosnian-American Opera Singer Tinka Milinovic.   Tinka (holds Master of Music degree from the University of Louisiana, graduated 1998), international TV star, public persona, and recording artiste extraordinaire.    Tinka has competed at the Bosnian Eurovision Song Contest national finals with songs “Sve sto imas ti”(2002), “I’m Never Gonna Fall”(2003), and “Sometimes I Wish I Were a Child Again”(2005). Although not winning in 2002, Tinka became an over-night sensation getting offers to host her own TV and radio shows, as well as a lead role in Sarajevo Opera.  In 2003, Tinka was invited and performed as the only artist from Bosnia and Herzegovina ever to take part in Eurovision Show Berlin 2003. In 2006 she was invited again and performed at the Eurovision Show, this time in Munich.   In 2005, Tinka entered ESC again with a song written by ESC most-rewarded composer Ralph Siegel from Germany, and tied the 1st place.  In 2006, Tinka represented Switzerland at Eurovision Song Contest in Athens, Greece.
