Dvornik kicked off his tour on Wednesday night in Pozarevac, the eastern provincial town where former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic grew up and where his son Marko owned the Madonna disco club and a theme park called Bambiland.
The enfant terrible of the Croatian pop scene is currently working on a CD containing club trance and ambient-house music.
He said in an interview last year that his band were "paid musicians - who play for money and are not interested in whether they play in New York or Belgrade".
Dvornik's concerts are sponsored by the Serbian Ministry of Culture and Pozarevac-based Bambi health food company, whose logo Marko Milosevic used for his theme park during the years of his father's dictatorship.

 Magazin - soulful music full of Balkan sentiment |
It will hold four concerts in the 7,000-seat Belgrade's Sava congress centre between 7 and 10 March, Croatian state news agency Hina has reported.
Even in the days of the most passionate anti-Croat sentiment in Serbia, one could hear Magazin's music blasting from a pirate CD stand in the elegant Prince Michael central shopping street in Belgrade.
The band, which has sold thousands of records throughout the region and has represented Croatia in Eurovision twice, saw the tickets for their Belgrade concerts selling like hot cakes among their loyal fans.
