/0 Comments/in , , /by

We are about three weeks away from the first national final for Eurovision 2025, Montesong 2024, which is going to take place on November 27, and through which Montenegro returns to the Eurovision Song Contest after a two-year hiatus.

While the final list of the artists and their songs with which they will claim the representation of the Balkan country in Basel, Switzerland, was published on October 10, two changes were announced today. The first change concerns the withdrawal of Boban Rajović with the song “Suze” who left for personal reasons according to his post on his personal Instagram account.

“My dear followers,
Mainly due to my private commitments and the lack of free time, I was forced to withdraw from the “Montesong” competition. I think it’s unnecessary to talk about my wish to represent Montenegro at Eurovision, but it just wasn’t meant to be this year, which doesn’t mean that my wish won’t come true in the future. Honestly I would like the best song to win. I would like more to see that the winner will be the one that the people vote. Thank you for your understanding.” 

Immediately after the above withdrawal, the national broadcaster of Montenegro RTCG announced that he will be replaced by Tamara Živković with the song “Poguban let”.

So the updated list of participants is as per below:

  1. Anastasija Koprolčec – “Kraj”
  2. Bend “9” – “Stop War”
  3. Dolce Hera – “Repeat”
  4. Đurđa – “To Ljubav Je”
  5. GlumciBend – “San”
  6. Isak Šabanović – “Ljeto, Ljeto, Ljeto”
  7. Kejt – “Obala Raja”
  8. Luka Perazić i Rade Vukčević – “Dva Srca”
  9. Luka Radović – “Kada Dođe Maj”
  10. Milena Vučić – “Škorpija”
  11. Nemanja Petrović – “Među Zvijezdama”
  12. Neonoen – “Clickbait”
  13. Nina Žižić – “Dobro Došli”
  14. Tamara Živković – “Poguban let”
  15. Tina Džankić – “Nova”
  16. Verica Čuljković – “Čuješ li”
