RTVSLO has revealed the dates of the EMA semi-final and final exclusively to esctoday.com today. Unlike previous reports, Slovenia's annual national song contest will not take place during the first half of March. The semi-final (EMA Predizbor) will take place on February 20 and the final (EMA Izbor) will take place one day later as usual, on February 21. Further details will be announced tomorrow during a press conference organised by the broadcaster.

EMA 2010 will introduce a number of new features to the contest: for the very first time the winner will be decided by televoting only and all songs will be sung in the Slovene language – both in EMA and at the Eurovision Song Contest – in order to promote the Slovene language.
