The Serbian final took place last Monday in Belgrade and saw Jelena Tomasevic win by a landslide, something that made a lot of Serbians happy as she was a hot favourite since the beginning. Few people were happier though on Monday night than the winners of the RTS reality show Evropsko lice as the audience decided by SMS voting that Kristina Radenkovic and Branislav Katic are the ones to be a part of the hosting team of Eurovision Song Contest 2008.

During the Beovizija final after party, Kristina was so nice to answer to couple of questions for our readers.

In May you `ll be a part of team of Eurovision Song Contest. Have you been following the contestlong?

Kristina: I've been watching Eurovision since I was a little girl and I was always fascinated by it over and over. I guess my nature enjoys stage lights and a good show. It is a dream come true for me to participate in the biggest music event in Europe!

Do you know Jovana Jankovic or Zeljko Joksimovic personally? They are people with a lot of TV and stage experience. How much it could be support and assistance for you?

I look forward to meeting both of them, firstly because I appreciate both of them very much, and I was hoping for them to be Eurovision hosts. Jovana is my favourite TV presenter, I admire her work, and Zeljko is simply everything that a host needs to be, successful, recognised and a leader in the music show business.

Did you and Branislav become friends during the competition?

Kristina: We've spent so much time together, since we were in the same group from the beginning of the reality show, and we've gotten to know each other very well. We get along, and I think it is best seen on television.

For the end, the most difficult question: What is your favourite Eurovision song ever?

Kristina: For a long time my favourite song was Toto Cutugno's Insieme, but a few years ago it became My number one, sang by Helena Paparizou.
