Montenegro hasn’t made the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest since 2015. And while songs like Highway’s “The Real Thing” and Vladana’s “Breathe” didn’t leave Europe gagging, Eurovision 2025 offers the chance of a fresh start through Montesong 2024 — the country’s newly launched national selection for Eurovision.
Today Montenegro undid tradition by becoming the first country to release its national selection songs — a hallmark we usually associated with Albania.
The finalists include Eurovision 2013 artist Nina Zizic, who, along with Who See, managed to place fourth in her Eurovision semi-final…with the public. Sadly the jury pulled them down and kept them from the final.
Montenegro’s national final will take place on 27 November — that’s a Wednesday — in Podgorica at 20:00 CET. And while Wednesday may not exactly scream “Eurovision night” for most of you, it’ll be an important date in Montenegro. It coincides with the host broadcaster’s birthday. Happy birthday Radio and Television of Montenegro (RTCG).
Audiences outside of Montenegro can watch the show on the Montesong YouTube channel. A 50/50 combination of public and jury votes will determine the winner.
You can check out all of the songs below. Then vote for your favourites. Do any of these songs stand a chance of making the grand final in Basel? Which is your favourite? Let us know down below…
