Tajna nečiste krvi
The project was originally a combined adaptation of two Borisav Stanković novels: Nečista krv and Koštana. Turbo-folk singer Ceca was cast as the Roma girl Koštana. However, due to some conflicts, the film could be released years after it was filmed and covering only one of the novels. By 2011, Serbian television network Happy TV bought the entire footage of the film and, starting from 1 January 2012, it was aired as a 12-episode miniseries under the title Tajna nečiste krvi (The Secret of the Impure Blood).
