Serbia and Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005

The Serbian-Montenegrin participant broadcaster, Udruženje javnih radija i televizija (UJRT), organised the national final Evropesma-Europjesma 2005 in order to select its entry for the contest.

The hosts were actors Slobodan Ninković and Jelena Jovičić, who sang many former Eurovision Song Contest hits as a tribute to 50th anniversary of the event.

The competition took place at the RTCG studios in Podgorica on 4 March 2005, hosted by Andela Nenadović, Žana Gardašević and Andrija Milošević.

[4] Serbian RTS and Montenegrin RTCG, each conducted separate selections in order to select the twenty-four entries to proceed to the national final: RTS organised Beovizija 2005 on 19 February 2005 where twenty-three songs competed, while RTCG organised Montevizija 2005 on 2 March 2005 with twenty-four entries competing.

The winner, "Zauvijek moja" performed by No Name, was decided by a combination of votes from a jury panel (8/9) and the Serbian and Montenegrin public via televoting (1/9).

Plagiarism claims were also made towards "Zauvijek moja" as the introduction of the song was taken from the unofficial hymn of the Liberal Party of Montenegro titled "Poljem se vije".

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the twelve highest placed finishers in the 2004 contest are required to qualify from the semi-final in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from the semi-final progress to the final.
