Ahead of his participation in Pesma za Evroviziju 2026 (PZE),Serbia’s selection for Eurovision 2026, Tetiana had the opportunity to speak with LU-KA, who is competing in this year’s competition with his entry “Veruj”.
Check out our interview with LU-KA here!
In conversation with Tetiana, LU-KA recalls the busy day when he learned that “Veruj” made it to the shortlist. LU-KA speaks about his long years of performances and work at Lafayette Belgrade and how those experiences translate to PZE. He also reveals how he feels about his collaboration with Tam (the songwriter for “Veruj” and PZE 2025 finalist) and, of course, his favourite Eurovision songs.
Get to know LU-KA
Luka Živković, performing as LU-KA, is a singer, choreographer, dancer, stage director from Belgrade. He graduated in Scandinavian languages, just like his friend Princ, the last year Serbian representative at Eurovision. He was a part of Mia Nikolić’s dance squad at Pesma za Euroviziju 2025.
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).
Princ represented Serbia at Eurovision 2025 in Basel with his song “Mila”. At this year’s competition, Serbia failed to qualify for the Grand Final, finishing in fourteenth place with 28 points in the semi-final.
