Career

In 2008, when the Republika Srpska was looking for entries for a new regional anthem, Isovic and Bosnian national anthem composer Dušan Šestić submitted an entry, "Мајко земљо" ("Mother Earth") as a contender, though ultimately it was not chosen. In the late 2000s, Šestić and Isović also wrote a set of lyrics for the at the time and still wordless Bosnian national anthem, although they were not adopted.[3]
