Pesma za Evroviziju '25 (Serbian Cyrillic: Песма за Евровизију '25; PzE '25) is set to be the fourth edition of Pesma za Evroviziju, the national final organised by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) to select the Serbian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. The selection will consist of two semi-finals held on 25 and 27 February 2025, respectively, and a final on 1 March 2025.

Format and production

[edit]

In 2024, RTS confirmed that the national final format Pesma za Evroviziju would once again be organised to determine its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.[2] The selection will consist of two semi-finals on 25 and 27 February 2024, and a final on 1 March 2024.[3] Fifteen contestants will compete in each semi-final, with eight of them qualifying for the final.[4]

Competing entries

[edit]

On 18 July 2024, RTS opened an online form for interested artists to submit their entries. The submission period was supposed to last until 1 November 2024,[2] but the window was extended until 10 November a few days before the intended closing time.[5] Performers were required to hold Serbian citizenship, whilst there were no limitations as to whom could be a songwriter. At least 51% of lyrics of the submitted entries had to be in one of the official languages of Serbia.[6] At the closing of the deadline, 222 entries had been submitted.[1]

30 competing acts were selected and announced on 10 December 2024.[4] Returnees to the Serbian national final include:

  • Bojana x David and Dušan Kurtić, who competed the previous year;
  • Filarri, who competed in 2023 and 2024;
  • Gift (as part of Gifts and Roses), who competed in 2022 and 2023;
  • Princ, who competed in 2023;
  • Jelena Pajić, who competed in 2022;
  • Aleksa Vučković and Dimitrije Borčanin (both as part of AltCtrl), who competed in Beovizija 2020 and 2022 as part of the band Lift [sr];
  • Biber, who competed in Beovizija and Evropesma-Europjesma in 2006, Beovizija 2018 and 2022;
  • Igor Simić, who competed in Beovizija 2020 and 2022;
  • Maja Nikolić, who competed in Beovizija in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2018, Evropesma-Europjesma 2006 and Beosong 2013;
  • Tanja Banjanin, who competed in Evropesma-Europjesma 2004.

On 31 December 2024, RTS announced that Buč Kesidi with the song "Tužne ljubavi" were disqualified from the contest, due to performing their song prior to 1 September 2024 at the Sea Side Festival, which goes against the contest's rules. They are to be replaced by Maršali with the song "Po policama sećanja".[7] On 8 January 2025, RTS announced that Dram with the song "Vanja" were also disqualified due to performing their song prior to 1 September 2024. They are to be replaced by Lensy with the song "Hvala ti".[8] On 24 January 2025, Milan Nikolić announced his intention to withdraw due to "new circumstances" and that he would quit his role as editor at PGP-RTS.[9] Despite this, his entry "Storia del amor" was still published along with the other competing entries.[10] On 21 January 2025, Jelena Karleuša—who previously competed in Beovizija 2004—expressed her interest in competing in the Eurovision Song Contest;[11] however, Pesma za Evroviziju supervisor Olivera Kovačević responded to her the same day that it would be impossible due to her missing the deadline to submit an entry.[12]
