The Serbian artist and song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was picked this evening at Pesma za Evroviziju 23.
After two semifinals this week, sixteen acts lined up to score their place in the Liverpool Contest during a show hosted by Milan Marić and Dragana Kosjerina.
Scoring came from the much-loved 50/50 split of an expert jury and the general public. The winner ending second with both the jury and the public, after finishing sixth in one of the semifinals – go figure.
