Slovenia: RTVSLO decision about Eurovision 2025 participation in October!

After speaking to Eurovoix, the Slovenian broadcaster RTVSLO has said it will decide whether to compete at Eurovision 2025 in October.

The full statement from RTVSLO:

“RTV Slovenija will not make a decision about participating at Eurovision Song Contest 2025 until October 2024.”

Broadcasters have until September 15 to inform the EBU of their intention to participate. October 11 is the deadline for broadcasters to withdraw from the contest without a financial penalty from the European Broadcasting Union.

The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has confirmed today that the EBU has granted them a delay to decide on whether they will compete at Eurovision 2025 until November 1.

After the events of Eurovision 2024, RTVSLO released a statement in which they asked the EBU to provide further clarity on the events of the contest. The broadcaster raised doubts about the validity of its televoting results, and RTVSLO wanted further detail on the disqualification of the Netherlands, amongst other queries.

Raiven represented Slovenia at the 2024 contest, qualifying for the Grand Final with her song “Veronika”. She came in 23rd place in Saturday’s final, with 27 points.
