The Operacija trijumf was the Balkan version of Endemol's talents show Star Academy. It included the young talents from whole former SFR Yugoslavia (except Slovenia and Kosovo) – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The show began on 29 September 2008. Cukrov showcased his singing abilities through a wide repertory, singing opera songs such as "Con te partirò" of Andrea Bocelli, but also rock songs such as "Angie" of the Rolling Stones and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" of Aerosmith.[citation needed] The contestants of the Operacija trijumf, including Cukrov, supported Goran Karan at his concert in Belgrade, singing "Stand by Me".[4]

Igor Cukrov was expelled on the 13th gala event, losing in telephone voting to Vukašin Brajić.[5] During the show, there were some rumors that the judge Tonči Huljić is very protective about Cukrov,[6] because he was never nominated, until the twelfth gala; Huljić later stated that expelling Cukrov was an injustice.[5]
