Serbia in Eurovision

Serbia debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest as a solo country in 2007 and walked away with the coveted trophy when Marija Serifovic was crowned the winner with her melodic ballad Molitva. The country successfully hosted the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade the following year, when the EBU introduced two semi-finals in the competition.

The Balkan country has partaken in Europe’s favourite television show 11 times.

Hurricane were set to represent Serbia at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest with their entry ‘Hasta la vista’. Unfotunately the trio were not able to grace the Eurovision stage due to the untimely cancellation of the event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
