Montenegro has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 13 times since its debut in Template:Escyr. The Montenegrin participating broadcaster in the contest is Radio and Television of Montenegro (RTCG).

Before its independence, the Socialist Republic of Montenegro participated in the contest as part of Template:Esccnty (both the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from Template:Escyr to Template:Escyr and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in Template:Escyr), and the Republic of Montenegro participated as part of Template:Esccnty (from Template:Escyr to Template:Escyr). Entries selected by RTCG, formerly known as Script error: No such module "Lang". (RTT) during the era of Yugoslav participation, represented Yugoslavia in Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr and Serbia and Montenegro in Template:Escyr. Serbia and Montenegro's withdrawn Template:Escyr entry was also selected by RTCG.

Participation

Radio and Television of Montenegro (RTCG) is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 2006, thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest since then. It has participated in the contest representing Montenegro since its Template:Escyr in 2007.

Before the country became independent on 3 June 2006, entries from Montenegro had participated in the contest as part of Template:Esccnty and later Template:Esccnty. Entries from the former SR Montenegro placed 4th in Template:Escyr and 18th in Template:Escyr as part of Yugoslavia, and an entry from the Republic of Montenegro placed 7th in Template:Escyr as part of Serbia and Montenegro.

History

RTCG organised the national final MontenegroSong to select the country's entries in Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr, and internally selected the entry in Template:Escyr.

Montenegro failed to qualify for the final on its debut in Template:Escyr, as well as its appearances in Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr. The country placed 11th in the first semi-final in 2009, its best result at the time, with "Just Get Out of My Life" performed by Andrea Demirović. In November 2009, RTCG announced that Montenegro would not participate in Template:Escyr due to financial difficulties.[1] RTCG applied to participate in the Template:Escyr contest, but with the caveat that the potential representative would have to find sponsors themselves to fund their participation.[2] As that did not come to fruition, in December 2010, Montenegro decided to not participate in the contest on financial grounds.[3]

On 20 November 2011, the head of RTCG revealed that Montenegro would participate in the Template:Escyr contest in Baku.[4] The country internally selected its entry, "Euro Neuro" performed by Rambo Amadeus, which failed to qualify from the first semi-final. In Template:Escyr, Montenegro internally selected Who See and Nina Žižić with the song "Igranka", which failed to qualify. In Template:Escyr, Montenegro qualified for the final for the first time in its history with Sergej Ćetković's "Moj svijet". In Template:Escyr, Montenegro again qualified for the final with "Adio", performed by Knez and composed by Željko Joksimović. The song achieved the best Montenegrin result to date, finishing in 13th place. In Template:Escyr, RTCG selected Highway and their song "The Real Thing" internally. They performed in the first semi-final but failed to qualify, placing 13th with 60 points. In Template:Escyr, RTCG selected Slavko Kalezić and his song "Space" internally. The song failed to qualify, placing 16th. In Template:Escyr, RTCG organised the national final Montevizija to select their entry,[5] which was won by "Inje" performed by Vanja Radovanović.[6] The song failed to qualify from the second semi-final, placing 16th with 40 points. In Template:Escyr, RTCG again selected its representative through Montevizija,[7] which was won by "Heaven" performed by D mol.[8] The song failed to qualify from the first semi-final, placing 16th with 46 points.

Despite initially confirming its participation in the Template:Escyr contest and aiming to expand Montevizija,[9][10] Montenegro ultimately did not enter the contest, which was later cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] RTCG later stated that the reason was due to "modest results" and financial issues.[12] Montenegro also did not participate in the Template:Escyr contest, but returned in Template:Escyr, having internally selected Vladana to represent the country with the song "Breathe".[13][14] Once again, Montenegro failed to qualify for the final, finishing 17th in a field of 18 with 33 points in the second semi-final. Following another two-year absence,[15][16] Montenegro is set to return in Template:Escyr, with plans to hold a new national final format, Montesong 2024, in order to determine its entry.[17][18] On 31 October 2024, Boris Raonić, Director-General of RTCG, and Danijel Alibabić, President of the Association of Variety Performers of Montenegro, signed a formal cooperation agreement to establish Montesong as a common project, with Alibabić hinting at future editions of the festival.[19] The first edition of Montesong was won by Neonoen with "Clickbait", however, the band was discovered to have performed the song prior to the cut-off date, leading to their withdrawal and runner-up Nina Žižić with "Script error: No such module "Lang"." subsequently being chosen as the Montenegrin entrant in Basel.[20] Žižić, however, finished in last place in the second semi-final, scoring only 12 points, giving Montenegro its worst ever result and marking the first time that Montenegro has finished in last place in a Eurovision event. Following the 2025 contest, Montesong producer Template:Ill called for Montenegrin authorities to get more involved in RTCG's Eurovision efforts in 2026.[21]
