History
Before Montenegro became an independent country on 3 June 2006, the country had participated as part of
As an independent country, Montenegro failed to qualify for the grand final during its debut in
On 20 November 2011 the head of RTCG revealed that Montenegro would participate in the 2012 contest to be held in Baku; he also went on to say that he saw Montenegro at every Eurovision Song Contest to come. The song failed to qualify from the first semi-final, placing 16th with 46 points.
Despite initially confirming their participation in the 2020 contest and aiming to expand Montevizija,[9][10] Montenegro ultimately did not enter the contest, which was later cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] RTCG later stated that the reason was due to "modest results" and financial issues.[12] Montenegro also did not participate in the 2021 contest, but returned in 2022, having internally selected Vladana to represent the country with the song "Breathe".[13][14] Once again, Montenegro failed to qualify for the final, finishing 17th in a field of 18 with 33 points in the second semi-final. RTCG later confirmed its absence from the 2023 contest, citing financial constraints and a lack of interest from sponsors.[15] On 3 October 2023, local media in Montenegro reported that the country would not return to the 2024 contest in Malmö.[16] Montenegro ultimately did not appear on the list of participants for 2024, marking a second consecutive absence from the contest. On 5 January 2024, RTCG published a report from a public debate held on 4 December 2023 concerning their production plans for 2024. In the report, the broadcaster states that it "plans on organising a music festival to promote Montenegrin artists and authors, and which would (depending on the budget) be used as a way to select the representative for Eurovision 2025".[17][18]
