Dino starts Semi-Final with Love In Rewind

11 April 2011 at 16:34 CEST

How did it start?

Almost traditionally, the Bosnia and Herzegovina broadcaster BHRT decided to hold an internal selection for their representative for Europe's favourite TV-show.

But it wasn't before the end of February when Dino - who represented the country already in 1999 - revealed his entry, called Love In Rewind.

The song is set in a calm mid-tempo production and was presented on stage in the show together with a band of musicians as well as a circus artist.

Dino Merlin will try to defend his country's long streak of qualifications for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Since the introduction of the Semi-Finals of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004, only four countries have managed to reach every Final of Europe's favourite TV-show through the Semi-Finals. One of them is Bosnia and Herzegovina.
