History
The album itself was announced through a promotional single titled "Otkrit ċu ti tajnu" in August 2007. As with his previous works such as Sredinom and Burek the album includes several collaborations with local and regional artists. In an interview with Maxi Magazin Dino stated that the decision to release the promotional single was made to ease the burden of dealing with over twenty songs he is currently working on and knowing that some of them will never be released. In the same interview he stated that he has enough material for a double CD but that "life is too short for double CD's." The song "Otkrit ċu ti tajnu" can be downloaded by visiting the BH Telecom Web site. The second single, titled "Dabogda" was released 29 May 2008 to all regional radio and TV stations. Dino's official site also announced a concert date to coincide with the promotion of Ispočetka.

Merlin said that he will make a concert in Belgrade.[7] The Europe tour was continued in March. He toured in USA in April and in Australia in May 2009.[8] Dino was invited to opet the new arena in Zenica with a concert. But all 9000[9] tickets were sold out,[10] so he decided to make another concert on Saturday, 21 March. So over 15,000 people were on the concerts.[11] It was the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina that an artist played two concerts in two days in the same arena. The tickets were available for 10 KM($7), but they were sold illegally for 35 KM($24). That was also unusual in Bosnia.[12] After more than 20 years Dino decided to visit Serbia and to make a concert in Belgrade. On Monday, 10 October, the first day of the tickets sale for the concert in the Belgrade Arena a record has been broken: 2500 tickets were sold in the first four hours.[13] The concert was sold out in four days.[14] Another show has been added on 26 November.[15] After the second show was sold out another one was added.
