Interviews

Esctoday.com has spoken to some of the Macedonian finalists:

In 2009, FYR Macedonia was represented by Next Time, who reached 10th place in the first semi final with their song Nesto shto kje ostane,but narrowly missed out on qualifying to the final due to the jury favouring Finland to get the 10th qualifying spot for the final.
