Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest
Slovenia made its debut on the Eurovision stage as an independent nation in 1993, after winning Kvalifikacija za Millstreet and getting the right to compete. They qualified along with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, who finished second and third respectively
The artist to represent the country for the first time was 1X Band, who sang โTih deลพeven danโ. They finished in 22nd with nine points.
Since then, Slovenia has competed 24 times overall as an independent nation. Previously, they have competed as Yugoslavia alongside: Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia. As Yugoslavia, only four of the 27 entries were from Slovenia.
The countryโs best results have been twice in seventh place. The first one was in 1995, thanks to Darja ล vajger who sang โPrisluhni miโ. Meanwhile, the second of those came in 2001 with Nuลกa Derenda and โEnergyโ.
