Nina Žižić will represent Montenegro with the song 'Dobrodošli' ('Welcome') on their return to the Eurovision Song Contest.

The singer-songwriter has enjoyed a long and successful career which began as part of the group Negre and includes the release of numerous singles and exciting collaborations.

It’s not Nina’s first encounter with the Contest - she featured alongside Montenegrin hip-hop duo Who See at Malmö 2013 performing Igranka’; they finished 12th in their Semi-Final, ultimately missing out on the Saturday night Grand Final.

Nina recently finished 2nd in the Montesong national final behind four-piece rock outfit NeonoeN who had initially been expected to represent the balkan nation in Basel next May.

However, after discussions between the band and broadcaster RTCG about their song’s eligibility for Montesong, NeonoeN decided to withdraw CLICKBAIT from the process, thanking the broadcaster and wishing Montenegro’s next Eurovision Song Contest participant luck.

Having finished just one point behind NeononeN at Montesong (winning the jury vote in the process), Nina Žižić was invited by RTCG to represent Montenegro on their first participation since 2022.
