Robert Kozjak was responsible for make-up during the shoot, while Ana Sever handled photography and production coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"max-width:600px\">\u201cWhen Luka called me, I felt extremely honored to be invited to take part in such a project,\u201d says Katja Restovi\u0107. \u201cCreating an official Band Aid video for the Pope\u2019s visit was a great responsibility, but also a truly meaningful experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"max-width:600px\">The production involved extensive travel and a demanding shooting schedule across four different cities \u2013 Split, Zadar, Zagreb, and Rijeka. Despite the challenges, Restovi\u0107 emphasizes that this dynamic process added a special energy to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-6 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" data-id=\"1276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Papa_benedikt.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1276\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Papa_benedikt.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Papa_benedikt-150x100.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"260\" height=\"194\" data-id=\"1271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1271\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa2.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa2-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa2-150x112.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"193\" height=\"261\" data-id=\"1274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1274\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa3.jpeg 193w, https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa3-150x203.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"191\" height=\"264\" data-id=\"1272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1272\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa4.jpeg 191w, https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa4-150x207.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" data-id=\"1273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1273\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa5.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa5-150x100.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"174\" data-id=\"1275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1275\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa6.jpeg 290w, https:\/\/www.katjarestovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/papa6-150x90.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"max-width:600px\">\u201cI especially enjoyed working with such a large number of musicians.
