Kosovar government hopes for a Eurovision 2025 debut

Kosovo has celebrated the second edition of Festivali i Këngës në RTK and the nation does not give their hope to debut in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The second edition of the festival took place in Pristina last weekend.  The winner of Festivali i Këngës në RTK 2024 was Endrit Krasniqi Flasë me tetanen.  

According to public broadcaster RTK, the Kosovo government foresees their festival as a platform to show Europe their interest in participating in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Regarding the chances of future participation RTK’s Minister of Culture, Hajrulla Çeku said:

Technically, and organizationally, we meet all the conditions. There remain only procedural aspects towards the issue of membership and representation in ‘Eurovision’. Politically, we have to do a lot but remember that last year we were monitored by the EBU because they evaluate organizational issues. We have passed this exam, now we continue towards Eurovision with our heads held high

Kosovo’s broadcaster RTK sent an application to participate in Eurovision this year to the EBU. However, the EBU rejected their application on the basis that they needed to become a full EBU member first.
