As the songs competing for this year’s competition in Basel continue to be selected, the team at That Eurovision Site will react to the entries that will be participating at Eurovision 2025. The next entry we will react to is Serbia, which will be competing in this year’s competition with “Mila” by Princ.
Our thoughts on “Mila”
In this series, we will provide our opinions via two methods. One of our team members will be reacting on video, which you can see below, whilst up to three members will give their written opinion on the entry. Tim will be on the main seat and will be showing his reaction to “Mila”
What did the other team members think of “Mila”?
Euan: I do think I may be the only person who likes this. PzE was pretty dire this year, and while not my favourite, it certainly stood out as something polished. I understand that my reasons for liking this are perhaps the reasons that it will struggle hard in May; it’s an incredibly simple Balkan ballad by number. Princ’s vocals are fantastic, but without a jury backing this up, I feel this is going to be overshadowed by the two much stronger Balkan ballads in its semi.
Shiloh: Frankly, Eurovision 2025 is somewhat lacking in sincerity, and “Mila” is one of the few entries attempting to appeal to the heart. Princ’s live performance is really what carries this–that live performance at PzE impressed even me, and I’m not particularly crazy about this song on its own.

Serbia’s Eurovision Journey
In 2007, Serbia made its debut as an independent country, having previously participated as part of Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro. There, they were represented by Marija Šerifović with “Molitva”, which managed to win the competition. Since their debut, Serbia has participated 16 times (13 of which, where they qualified for the Grand Final).
Teya Dora represented Serbia at Eurovision 2024 in Malmö with her song “Ramonda”. At this year’s competition, Serbia managed to qualify for the Grand Final, where they placed 17th. At the close of voting, she received 54 points – 22 coming from the jury and 32 from the televote.
