A Nutella fan has taken over social media, singing "Liliane" in front of the N1 cameras.

A fan of Bosnia and Herzegovina's national football team, American Ryan Harper, gained widespread attention online after singing the iconic Bosnian song 'Ljiljane' during an interview with N1 television. Despite not speaking Bosnian natively, Harper performed the song with remarkable accuracy, emotion, and energy, impressing those present. He wore a jersey featuring 'Nutella' instead of his surname, a nickname he received from the wife of a restaurant owner in the US who recognized his unique energy through phone orders. Harper has been connected to Bosnia and Herzegovina for over a decade through his marriage to Lejla Osmić, originally from Brčko, and now considers the country a second home. The Harpers visit Bosnia annually, and Ryan has developed a deep appreciation for Bosnian culture, history, and traditions through his wife and her family.
