PBSBH (Public Broadcasting Service of Bosnia and Herzegovina) has decided to follow last year's tested method for the selection of the song which will represent them at the next Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki. Since Hari Mata Hari managed to gain third place in Athens with Lejla, B & H will be going straight to the final.

Just like this year, PBSBH will select both the singer/group and the song internally and then present their choice to the public on a special show on March 4. The organisers are said to be considering various options that share a common characteristic, they should be artists that have had some success outside the country’s borders as well. PBSBH are hoping that this way they will attract votes from other countries more easily.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
