Peta strana sveta (trans. Fifth Side of the World) is the fifth studio album from Serbian and Yugoslav hard rock band Kerber, released in 1990.

Background and recording

Peta strana sveta was recorded in PGP-RTB Studio V and produced by Saša Habić. Most of the album lyrics were written by the band's old associate Duško Arsenijević, and part of the lyrics were written by Riblja Čorba frontman Bora Đorđević, with whom the band had previously cooperated on their third studio album, Seobe (Migrations). Đorđević wrote lyrics for two songs, co-wrote lyrics for one song with Arsenijević, and also sung backing vocals on the album recording. Several songs featured Nenad Petrović on saxophone and the song "Mama – tata" ("Mom – Dad") featured a children's choir. Peta strana sveta was the band's only album to feature a song not composed by the members of the band – the song "Ljubav je", composed by Dragoljub Ilić, keyboardist of the band Generacija 5. The album cover was designed by Zoran Stamenković, the band's original drummer. Peta strana sveta was the band's last album recorded with drummer Dragoljub Đuričić and bass guitarist Branko Isaković. Đuričić would leave the band soon after the album recording to join his former band Leb i Sol, being replaced by Josip Hartl, and Isaković would remain with the band until their early 1990s hiatus, being replaced by Saša Vasković when the band returned to the scene in the mid-1990s.
