In detail, the deadline for those interested to submit their songs for the national final ended on October 1st. RTCG, Montenegro’s public broadcaster, announced that it received a total of 32 entries. However, the organizers are leaving a small window open for any additional entries that may arrive by mail.

The public broadcaster admits that the timeline was tight, but they believe the juries will be able to recognize a good song, even in its demo version. Contestants will also have the opportunity to make changes to their songs until November 1st.
RTCG’s artistic director, Vladana Vučinić, emphasized that this national final will be crucial for Montenegro’s music scene:

After two years of absence, Montenegro is returning to the Eurovision Song Contest, and in fact, they’re even organizing a national final, which will apparently be the first to take place this season!
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.”

Following a call by the national broadcaster, RTCG, for a public debate to shape its broadcasting programme for 2024, the authorities have published an official report responding to the suggestions/ questions sent to them.
Of course, there were also questions about the Eurovision Song Contest!
More specifically, someone asked the following question:
“Are there any plans to organise a music festival produced by the RTCG? From time to time there have been announcements about a winter festival instead of Montevizija, about Montefon and other festivals…
Will RTCG participate in the Eurovision Song Contest and will there be a national final?”
The RTCG’s response was as follows:
“The Montenegrin TV is planning to organise a music festival promoting new songs by local artists and composers and at which (depending on the budget for 2025) the country’s representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will be selected!”
It is also stated that although in 2023 RTCG did not broadcast Eurovision, in 2024 it intends to broadcast both Eurovision and Eurovision Junior.
Montenegro’s last participation in the contest was in 2022 with Vladana and the song “Breathe” which finished in the 17th place of the semi-final with just 33 points.
