Najveći hitovi (Serbian Cyrillic: Највећи хитови, lit. "Biggest hits") is the first VHS by Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža, released in 1993 by SuperTon. It is a compilation of various music videos from songs from his first four studio albums. It includes only patriotic material and popular music videos for songs such as "Ne volim te Alija" and "Božić je". It is the first VHS release by SuperTon and one of the first and only during the entire war.

Background

After the release of Još se ništa ne zna, SuperTon gathered and filmed material for their first VHS release, featuring their most popular artist at the time.

Release

15 out of the 16 videos were filmed by SuperTon for the VHS, with the scenery and directing credited to Baja himself. The videos were filmed in various places in and around Belgrade, like the Kalemegdan park, with some songs featuring footage from the war spliced in.

The comedian Milan Malbaša appears for skits in between certain music videos, making fun of and imitating mainly Croat politicians like Franjo Tuđman and Croat television. He appears after "Obilić me zove", "Vratiće se Novak", "Još se ništa ne zna" and "Srbi se nikog ne boje"

The song "Vrati se vojvodo" was not made specifically for the VHS and shows a younger Baja singing infront of Momčilo Đujić's house near Knin. The video includes a visible "SRTV Knin" logo in the top right, indicating the video was made for the TV station and then recorded again for the VHS release.

"Božić je" and "Kad sam bio mali" were filmed together with the first music video for the song "Ne dam Krajine" prior to the making of the VHS. For unknown reasons, the original video for Ne dam Krajine was not included in the VHS and was rather remade with a makeshift set and overall higher production quality.

The cover for the VHS is lifted from the Još se ništa ne zna album, just with the name of the album removed and replaced with "НАЈВЕЋИ ХИТОВИ".

There are two known Yugoslav versions of the VHS. The most commonly found version has the catalog number "ВКД 001" on the spine and a fully red header on the back of the cover. The other version has no catalog number and black "БАЈА – МАЛИ КНИНЏА" text. There also exists a Video novosti version released in Australia.
