More new music for you this week – from a duo that sound very intellectual! Your chosen fan favourite is similarly thoughtful, as another one of you joins our winners club! Our triple play takes us to Montenegro, and we catch up on the latest Eurovision news stories…
Montenegro has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 12 times since its debut in 2007. Previously it had participated as part of Yugoslavia (both the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1961 to 1991 and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992) and as part of Serbia and Montenegro (from 2004 to 2006). The 2005 entrants from Serbia and Montenegro, No Name, were from Montenegro, as were the 1983 and 1984 entrants for Yugoslavia.
