Before Eurovision

Beovizija 2009

Beovizija 2009 was the 7th edition of Beovizija music festival. The semi-finals were held on 7 March 2009, while the final was held a day later on 8 March 2009.

Semi-final

Twenty songs competed during the semi-final on 7 March 2009. The ten qualifiers were decided by a combination of votes from a jury panel (50%) and the Serbian public (50%).

Due to technical errors in the televoting, Ana Nikolić and Ivana Selakov both qualified for the final despite placing out of the top ten. However, Nikolić declined to participate.

At Eurovision
Marko Kon and Milan Nikolić in the Green Room

Since Serbia is not one of the "Big Four" and is not the host of the 2009 contest, it had to compete in one of the two semi-finals. At the semi-final allocation draw on 30 January, it was decided that the country would compete in the second semi-final on 14 May 2009.[1][2][3]

Marko and Milaan performed 4th in the running order of the semi-final, following Latvia and preceding Poland. The duo failed to qualify Serbia to the final for the first time in the country's Eurovision history.

gollark: Wait, *final* book? I wonder how it's going to end up resolving everything.
gollark: Fun fact: if you put the URL between < and >, it won't display the embed.
gollark: Yes, it does make sense business-wise, I was just saying that I do not like them doing that.
gollark: I think the way it works is that if your ebook is under Kindle Unlimited, it can *only* be provided/sold through Amazon.
gollark: I'm not sure about "most", but definitely quite a lot. They have some sort of weird exclusivity thing going on, which I don't like much (not as an author, it just isn't very good for the market).
