Countries Bosnia & Herzegovina

With more nations than ever wanting to take part, they qualified for the Contest via a pre-selection show called Kvalifikacija za Millstreet (‘Qualification for Millstreet’) which also featured hopefuls from Slovakia, Estonia, Hungary and Romania who had to wait another year to join the party.

Before withdrawing from the competition following Stockholm 2016, the country had an enviable run of results, qualifying for the Saturday night Grand Final on all but one occasion.

To date, Bosnia & Herzegovina is the proud recipient of two Marcel Bezençon Awards; pop group Hari Mata Hari won the Composer Award in 2006 for Lejla, as did rock band Regina in 2009 for Bistra Voda.
