Montenegro is set to make a triumphant return to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 with the launch of its new national selection event, Montesong. After a two-year hiatus, the Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG has unveiled 16 diverse entries vying for the chance to represent the nation on the European stage.
The inaugural Montesong competition is scheduled for Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at the Voco Hall in Podgorica, coinciding with the anniversary of Radio and Television of Montenegro (RTCG). The event will be broadcast live on RTCG’s main channel, including its satellite service for international audiences, and on the Montesong YouTube channel. The winner will be determined through a combination of public and jury votes.
