Ja imam talenat! (series 3)

Ja imam talenat! 2011-12 was a series of the Serbian edition of the Got Talent franchise. It was the third series broadcast in Serbia.

For the first time since the show's debut, the judging panel was altered – Danica Maksimović was replaced with Mina Lazarević.^[1] The press reported that Maksimović and the producers couldn't reach an agreement on her fee, so it was decided that Mina would take her place.^[2]

The first episode of the series was aired on 20 November 2011.^[3] In addition to the weekly auditions show, during the workdays a companion show is broadcast.

This season, the logo was changed; the new logo looks like the one used for the fifth series of the British version of the show, with a slightly altered colour scheme.

Over 4000 auditionees performed in front of the judges in September 2011, in Terazije Theatre.^[4] Prior to this, contestants had to audition in front of the production team. For this season, some of the contestanst came from countries other than Serbia, including a singer from Tunisia,^[5] and a male oriental dancer from Croatia.^[6]
