Serbia is sending Luke Black to Liverpool

Serbia's song for Liverpool was selected via its Pesma Za Evroviziju, which drew to its conclusion on Saturday 4 March after 2 semi finals happened earlier in the week, on Wednesday and Thursday, 1 and 2 March respectively. 

Saturday night's final had a strong lineup of 16 competitors. But in the end, it was only one ticket to Liverpool that could be handed out. Luke Black will represent Serbia in May with the song Samo Mi Se Spava.

Both a public vote and a jury vote was called upon on Saturday night to score the finalists. Once all entries had been performed, voting opened, with the public vote and the jury vote each accounting for 50% of the final scores.

Once those scores had been totted up, it emerged that Luke Black had the winning song with both the juries and the public. Samo Mi Se Spava is the song that Serbia is sending to Liverpool in May, to represent the country at the 67th Eurovision Song Contest.
