Montenegro Poised for Eurovision 2025 Comeback with ‘Montesong 2024’

Montenegro is gearing up for a Eurovision return in 2025 after a two-year absence. The national broadcaster, RTCG, has announced «Montesong 2024,» a new national selection process.

The Path to Selection

Artists wishing to compete must submit their entries by 1 October 2024. Entries must be at least 51% in one of Montenegro’s official languages, and performers must be Montenegrin nationals. RTCG will form a committee to select up to 16 songs based on composition, lyrics, and production quality, with a maximum score of 100 points. Songs must achieve at least 75 points to proceed; otherwise, RTCG will select internally.

Voting and Competition Structure

«Montesong 2024» will feature both public and jury votes, though the exact voting breakdown is yet to be confirmed. This competition promises to bring Montenegro back into the Eurovision spotlight, potentially as one of the first countries to announce its entry for 2025.

Montenegro debuted in Eurovision in 2007, following its independence from Serbia. The nation has taken breaks in 2010-2011, 2020-2021, and 2023-2024.
