Montenegro’s Eurovision 2026 season is about to begin! RTCG has confirmed that the list of artists competing in Montesong 2025 will be revealed tomorrow, 14 October, during the broadcaster’s morning show Dobro jutro, Crna Goro.
A morning reveal on RTCG
The news was shared on the official Montesong Instagram account:
The announcement will take place live on RTCG from 06:30 CEST, with Danijel Alibabić and Triton F joining the programme to discuss this year’s line-up and event details.
What’s new for this year’s edition
This year’s edition of Montesong comes with several updates to improve the festival’s production and format.
As announced last month, executive producer Vladana Vučinić confirmed that the contest will feature a new studio venue, an expanded production team, and greater creative freedom for artists – including the ability to perform in any language.
Montesong 2025 will also use a jury and SMS voting system to determine the winner, with up to 16 artists expected to compete in December.
Show confirmed for December 21
Earlier this month, RTCG also confirmed that Montesong 2025 will take place on 21 December at the broadcaster’s Main Studio in Podgorica.
Producers had considered staging the show with a live audience elsewhere, but ultimately chose to remain at RTCG’s studio due to production costs.
“Producing such a demanding television event requires a large team. Holding Montesong in another venue would significantly increase production costs,” Vučinić told RTCG.
Montenegro’s Eurovision journey
Before Montenegro announced its return to the Eurovision Song Contest for 2025, they had a scattered appearance at the competition. There has been a Montenegrin presence at the Eurovision Song Contest as far back as 1983, when the nation was a part of Yugoslavia. Montenegrin entries went on to represent Yugoslavia in 1983 and 1984, placing 4th and 18th respectively. Similarly, the nation also sent an entry as part of Serbia and Montenegro in 2005, placing 7th with No Name’s “Zauvijek moja”.
Montenegro returned to the Contest in 2025 with Nina Žižić returning to the competition after 12 years. Singing “Dobrodošli”, Montenegro competed in the second semi-final. However, their return did not see a return to the final, with Montenegro finishing last in the semi-final with just 12 points.
