It’s now official, Montenegro will return to Eurovision 2025 in Switzerland, and Vladana Vučinić, representative in 2022, made a few statements from her new role as Creative Director at RTCG, the country’s public television.
“We are thrilled that Montenegro is returning to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025. After several years of absence, this is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase our country’s rich cultural diversity on the European stage. Our representative will be selected through a national competition called ‘Montesong’, which will be organised in collaboration with the Association of Performing Artists and Entertainers of Montenegro. This partnership is designed to encourage as many Montenegrin performers as possible to participate. Our goal is to promote new musical talents and reconnect with the wider European audience. We believe this will mark the beginning of a new and successful era for Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest.”
She also gave some more information regarding the highly anticipated national final:
“While composers can be from any country, the performers must be Montenegrin citizens. The lyrics of the songs must be written at least 51% in the official languages used in Montenegro. Composers are required to submit a final or high-quality demo recording of their song, up to three minutes in length, featuring the performer who will perform the song at the competition. The submission must include a five-digit code under which the composition will undergo the selection process. The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2024.”
Those interested can find more information on RTCG’s official website.
The last time Montenegro took part in Eurovision, was in 2022, when Vladana performed “Breathe” in Turin:

Kosovo is not going to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 either!
Kosovo’s national broadcaster RTK has not received the coveted invitation from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to take part in the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland. According to a post by Kosovo’s official Eurovision account on X, the EBU did not give the green light for political reasons. In addition, they confirmed to RTK that in order to take part in the pan-European competition, they would have to become a full member of the organization.
The EBU is applying double standards. For #Kosovo , they are demanding full membership in the EBU before allowing participation in #Eurovision . However, they are not accepting for political reasons, even though RTK meets all the necessary requirements. #Stopdiscrimination pic.twitter.com/zHYRWgMblX

For the record, Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, without the latter accepting this fact.

Andriy Danilko, who plays the well-known and beloved Verka Serduchka, declares that he will not be a member of the jury again in the country’s national final for Eurovision, asking for changes.
The famous Ukrainian artist was a judge in the national final of Ukraine from 2016 to 2020 and this year. Andriy Danylko says the national final has lost the elements of tension and surprise since the two semi-finals were scrapped and is calling for their return so he can be a judge again.
Despite his disagreements with the selection process, Andriy Danylko strongly supported this year’s representatives Jerry Heil and Alyona Alyona.
Ukraine has yet to confirm its participation in Eurovision 2025, although it is expected to participate as normal. It is most likely that they will follow the method of the national final for the selection of their participation for the next year as well.
This year Ukraine was represented in Malmö by Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil and the song “Teresa & Maria” finishing in the third place of the grand final receiving 453 points.
