    Montenegro, last night selected their representative for the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest. Vanja Radovanovic won the countries national selection show Montevizja 2018 with “Inje” and will perform the song in the second semi-final in Lisbon. “Inje” translates as mist and is a ballad with some incredible instrumentation.

    Thirty songs were submitted to Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG before a jury selected the best five entries. These entries were then performed before a jury before the top three went on to perform in a super final with Vanja Radovanovic emerging as the winner.

    You can watch Vanda perform “Inje” below:

    Montenegro first entered the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007. Before this, they participated as part of Yugoslavia (1961 to 1992) and then as part of Serbia and Montenegro (2004 to 2006). Since their debut, they have only managed to qualify for the final twice. Their best result was in 2015 when Knex finished thirteenth with the song “Adio”. In 2017, Slavko Kalezic represented the country in Kyiv, Ukraine with “Space” but was unable to qualify for the final.
