Eurovision season is now in full swing and Serbia have announced that they have received a record number of entries for their national final Pesma za Evroviziju.
RTS – Serbia’s national broadcaster – have announced that a record 235 songs have been sent in this year. The selection committee will listen to all the tracks on 11th December, whittling the field down to around 30 songs.
Those (around) 30 songs will go on to compete in Serbia’s national final, hoping to win their ticket to Sweden next year.
Olivera Kovačević the Director of the Entertainment Program of the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation (RTS) revealed the news on the podcast Evrovizijske Priče.
“Around 235 compositions. Last year there were around 185. Almost fifty more compositions and authors than last year. From year to year we have more interest and I can say that people with amateur recordings to top professionals, to young gifted, to people with a successful career.”
Pesma za Evroviziju 2024
RTS also announced that the national final Pesma za Evroviziju 2024 will consist of three live shows.
Two semi-finals on the 27th and 29th February 2024 with the grand final being held on the 2nd March 2024.
We want to know who you want to represent Serbia in Malmö next year?
Let us know in the comments.
Filip, Prince and the guy who did ‘Posle Me’
How about the Prince ?
He said he won’t participate this year
filip balos, he was my clear favorite last year (i only streamed novi plan drugi san 345 times…). i’d love to see teya dora, but i’m not sure if that would happen.
Filip Zmaher – serbian axl rose yes pls
cujemo se sutra was among my faves last year
And the horny gays will vote for the “hottest” act and we’ll get another meh entry by an ‘artist’ wanting to be different from everyone else. Yay!
RTS should just get rid of public votes.
The public did not chose Luke. The jury placed him first.
They should withdraw
So should you from these pages! Stop spreading the hate, your comments should be banned. William? Anyone?
Filip Balos and Angellina are the only names on my wishlist
Filip is probably coming back (he submitted a song) but Angellina said she won’t be coming back..
I’d like to see a live audience at the final this time. No more canned applause, please.
They wont have live audience. They are filming in Kosutnjak studio, same like last year. I watched whole interview with Olivera (head of Serbian delegation), she said in order to rent Belgrade Arena (which is the biggest Arena on the Balkans) or newly renovated Sava Center (where the used to held Beovizija) they would need a lot of money and they would be only able to rent it for 3 weeks max. VS in their studio in Kosutnjak they will start preparations for national final next month already and they will work with each semifinalist for 2 full months on… Read more »
I’d like to see Filip again
“Novi plan drugi san” was an incredible banger, should’ve gone to ESC, could’ve done very well with the public
Well great news then since he sent the song again!
His singing was awful and the song was mediocre at best. ?
There must be a rule that a country which is in an active conflict, cannot take part at the contest. Obviously, the EBU will never grow the balls as big as that.
Active conflict?
Which active conflict?
Serbia’s conflict with Kosovo
Its not active now. They resolved it
There is no conflict with Kosovo. You cannot have a conflict with your own province.
Like when the UK troops alongside USA attacked Iraq in 2003? Where you protesting them not to participate in Eurovision? Hypocrite
It’s gonna be one of the best NFs this season, quite sure about that!
Can’t wait
As the trend for next year is returning artists who have already been successful in Eurovision, I can see Konstrakta coming back.
Simple. I wanna see another Zeljko Joksimovic flavored song, possibly even written by Zeljko himself, but not sung by himself. It’s been long overdue, especially with so many ex-Yugoslavs out of the contest. Thank YOU for that, EBU.
I Will Pray Aca Lukas Will Precitipate , He Has Really Good Music And Strong Beliefs . Too Much Gay Pride Agenda At The PZE Last Year , This Can Not Happen Again .
You really don’t understand who the target audience of Eurovision is do you?
I agree. Poland’s Bejba this year brought one huge gay pride parade with her on stage. It was terrible.
What Are You Ewen Talking About This Nonsence
Her male dancers. Picked straight of a gay pride parade. You really need to watch your family values, Bejba.
Stop Forcing Your Belief On Others . Not Everyone Is A HomoSexual Freak Like You … Stay Away From Us Normal People Alone Because Her Dancers Just Wanted To Preform And Show There Talents . Stop With This Agenda
I’m sorry but the agenda people said I have to continue, or else they are going to revoke my membership.
The nonsense is you and only you, stanning the Blanka’s song , this song more gay friendly you can’t, but at the same time speading your unhealthy homophobia as much as you can here.
You have big big psychological issues gurl.
How Do I Have Psicological Issues When Gay Is Considered A Mental Disease
Only in your silly and pityful mind sorry not sorry…. what are you doing on a gay friendly esc blog then?
You’re just pathetic asf
the results felt a little shady last year honestly, Luke came 6th in the semi however in the final he won, with different juries
maybe someone who knew him was in the jury in the final, i really had thought Filip would’ve ended up as the winner
Luke is an industry plant. Just a kid who was born in a wealthy family who gave him a career despite no talent.
Kid… pardon… MAN! He’s well into his 30s despite his antics lol
his style is not really something for eurovision but he has a talent for this alternative style with anime/video game vibes as for wealthy family, i suspected something like that, not every serbian can afford to go studying in a university in the UK, as well as his hobby’s which include fencing but honestly since i also supported Emma Muscat the year before i really didn’t judge him on that as i also didn’t judge Emma on her family background i love his PZE outfit more than his ESC outfit (which gave me flamenco vibes while the former fitted the… Read more »
I agree with that, his other work is quite unimpressive. I voted for him, though, the song was strong, and none of the other acts was quite my thing.
Filip was really not better than Luke. They were both quite bad, with mediocre songs.
Your lack of understanding of music and being open for new things is your problem
Not the coke addict homophobe, he is worst possible choice. Besides, RTS will not allow him to go after he threatened them years ago. He has a lot of issues and he is def not for Eurovision
