===1986-1990: ''Wild Strawberries'' and lineup changes===
In 1986, they started recording an [[English language]] album in the studio "Matrix" in [[London]], with producer Keith Woolvin. Eight of their old songs were re-recorded with English language lyrics and the album featured two new songs, "Fire on the Water" and "Wild Boys". In February, Divlje Jagode released a single "Shayla", and had performed in a number of English clubs. They also had a live show in the famous London club "Marquee Club". At the attendance, among others, were world-renowned keyboard players [[Don Airey]] and [[Keith Emerson]]. Airey, who at the time was member of British hard rock band, [[Whitesnake]], was later featured as a guest musician on their upcoming album. Shortly after, the band's manager came to Lipovača, for a possibility of him joining Whitesnake, as the band were in a search for a second guitar player at the time. Lipovača stated later in an interview, that it was Don Airey the one who suggested this to their manager. Being already committed to present obligations, Lipovača didn't proceed with the offer and decided to stay, focusing on his current band's career.<ref>https://arhiva.nedeljnik.rs/nedeljnik/portalnews/frontmen-benda-divlje-jagode-zasto-sam-odbio-whitesnake/</ref>
 
However, after this time, things would start to go in an unfavourable direction for the band. Release of their album was constantly delayed by the record company, and as the time passed by, tensions and differences between the band members would start to show. Unsure of their career in England, constant album release delays, and the fact that the band wasn't making enough profit, [[Alen Islamović]] decides to return to [[Sarajevo]]. Immediately after his return, he receives a second invitation form [[Goran Bregović]], to join [[Bijelo Dugme]], which this time, he accepts. The band was also left by Nasko Budimić, who decides to retire temporarily. At one point during the year, Lipovača was left as the only band member who was still in London. After turning down an offer to join several local musicians, Lipovača, also decides to leave London, and return to Sarajavo. After his return he found out that Islamović joined Bijelo Dugme, the fact that bothered him and created further friction between two musicians. By the end of the year, record label Diskoton released compilation album entitled ''Najbolje'' (''The Best''). The year ended with Divlje Jagode without a definitive lineup.
