OGAE Slovenia are next to announce their votes. There is no surprise if we say that Norway receives the 12 points from this country, as Alexander Rybak has just missed the maximum score once since this series started. France, with 10 points, and Sweden, with 8, complete the Slovenian podium.

The results coming from Slovenia are:

• 12 Norway (182 votes)
• 10 France (133 votes)
• 8 Sweden (116 votes)
• 7 United Kingdom (110 votes)
• 6 Turkey (93 votes)
• 5 Estonia (84 votes)
• 4 Bosnia & Herzegovina (73 votes)
• 3 Greece (65 votes)
• 2 Malta (62 votes)
• 1 Albania (58 votes)

Just missing out:

• Montenegro (56 votes)
• Spain (51 votes)
• Denmark (49 votes)

The main change after the Slovene club have given their votes is the clear progress made by the United Kingdom, that climbs from the 20th to the joint 11th place. On the top, Spain does not receive any points from Slovenia and swaps position with France, current runner-up. Norway remains far away in the lead and Albania receives its first point.
