Songs of Đorđe Balašević can be divided into 3 groups:
Emotional songs (love songs and songs filled with nostalgia)
Politically engaged songs
Humoristic songs

Songs that have more than one of this characteristics are quite rare, so his songs form 3 quite disjoint sets.
Songs of the first group are marked by nostalgia and saturated in gentle moods. These are the songs he is most famous for, and which take up the best part of his concert repertoire.
His politically engaged songs deliver the message of pacifism and tolerance, so he is often "accused" of yugonostalgia. Even though he is known for his patriotism what is not so well known is that he was against the Serbian wars and was accused of being pro-Croatian and pro-Bosnian, causing anger amongst the Serbs and even threats from the government; this caused him to stop writing and performing almost completely in the '90s.
