And the day that we’ve all been waiting has finally come! RTS, Serbian national broadcaster, has just released all songs that are competing in this year’s PZE 24 – Pesma za Evroviziju, which is, of course, the music festival whose winner will be representing Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmo, Sweden.
All artists had the opportunity to submit their song until November 2023. After a while, a jury has shortlisted the final 28 entries that will compete in the national final. We will see some very familiar faces and we will be able to meet many brand new artists, which is just as fun, having in mind that in last two years, Serbia has sent two unfamiliar faces to the public – Konstrakta in 2022 and Luke Black in 2023.
The festival consists of two semi-finals with 14 competing artist each night, and the best 8 will qualify to the final. Semi-finals are scheduled for February 27th and 29th, while the final will be held on March 2nd in RTS Studio in Košutnjak, Belgrade.
Like the previous years, the winner will be determined by the combination of jury and televote, in ratio of 50-50.
