Since the semi final was introduced in 2004, F.Y.R. Macedonia's Euovision Song Contest story seems like a roller coaster: Every year, they reached the top10 in the qualifier round but failed to qualify for the next edition in the final round. Nevertheless, in 2006 the best result so far came: Elena Risteska finished 12th in the final with Ninanajna. Still, a 12th place means entering the semi final once again in Helsinki. Whoever will enter the competition for F.Y.R. Macedonia will be decided tonight during their national final.

The show

Milanka Rasic, the former Head of Delegation and commentator, was given the honor to hosttonight's show along with Zivkica Gurcinovska, and Igor Dzambazov.
