Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG has officially confirmed its participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Tbilisi, Georgia, marking its first appearance since 2015.
RTCG’s decision to rejoin
RTCG’s decision reflects a renewed commitment to supporting youth music and reconnecting with European audiences. Montenegro becomes the second returning country for JESC 2025, following Croatia. The broadcaster has yet to announce whether they will opt for an internal selection or a national final to choose their representative.
Montenegro’s Junior Eurovision journey
Montenegro first took part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2005 as part of Serbia and Montenegro, when Montenegrin child singer Filip Vučić sang his song “Ljubav pa fudbal” in Hasselt. At the close of voting, the country finished in 16th place, earning 23 points. Montenegro would not join the Contest as an independent nation until 2014. Their first participation came from the duo Maša Vujadinović & Lejla Vulić singing “Budi dijete na jedan dan”, which finished in 14th place.
Montenegro last took part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2015, when Jana Mirković performed her song “Oluja” in Sofia. At the close of voting, Montenegro finished 13th in a field of 17, earning 36 points.
