As a winner the national competition "Zlatni Hit" of Belgrade's International Music Fair (MEđunarodni SAjam Muzike) MESAM 1988 with "Odmori se na mojim rukama", (1st prize of the Yugoslav radio stations, 1st prize of the Jury and the Award for the best act by the Yugoslav Union of Composers - SOKOJ), Massimo got the chance to represent Yugoslavia at the final evening of MESAM 1988 - Grand Prix International. This video is from that program. It was a second (and a last) time that an international contest was held within the festival. There were 17 countries competing for the Grand Prix, and by the votes of the international jury, Massimo finished 9th. Both, the national and the international evenings were held and broadcasted from Studio 8 of TV Belgrade (Serbian TV).

"Odmori se na mojim rukama" was released on Massimo's album "Muzika za tebe" (1989) and on his "Best of" compilation "Zlatna kolekcija" (2004). A live version can be found on "Apsolutno uživo - Klub Aquarius" (2005).
