Slovenian broadcaster RTVSLO confirmed that they have registered for Eurovision 2025.
Eurovision 2025 participating countries
This news comes after the broadcaster previously stated that they would not decide on participation until October. This registration does not necessarily confirm Slovenia’s participation at Eurovision 2025, as the broadcaster has until October 11th to withdraw without facing a penalty.
However, back in April, RTVSLO announced their intentions to bring back EMA, their national final, for 2025. Should RTVSLO participate, that brings the number of participating countries for Eurovision 2025 to 29. This week, Czechia, Ukraine, Iceland, and Greece confirmed their participation in Basel.
Slovenia’s Eurovision History
In 1993, Slovenia made its debut in the Eurovision Song Contest with 1X Band and the song “Tih deževen dan”, which placed 22nd. Since their debut, they have participated 28 times – of which, 16 were where they qualified for the Grand Final.
Slovenia’s recent Eurovision participation saw them being represented by Raiven, who sang the song “Veronika”. Performing at the first semi-final, Raiven placed 9th, therefore qualifying for the final for the second consecutive time. At the final, Slovenia finished in 23rd place, receiving 27 points. Of these, 15 came from the jury and 12 from the televote.
