A month before the show begins, Serbian broadcaster RTS has released the songs of Pesma za Evroviziju, its national selection for Eurovision 2025. Running orders for both semi-finals were also revealed.
30 – or 29 – songs split into two semi-finals
The thirty songs officially in the line-up have been equally split into two semi-finals, with eight songs qualifying from each show to the final. The semi-finals will take place on February 25 and 27 (a Tuesday and a Thursday, respectively), with the final held two days later, on March 1.
The actual number of performers is not yet clear. A few days ago, Milan Nikolić (who represented Serbia at Eurovision in 2009) announced that he was withdrawing from the competition, but RTS has not yet publicly acknowledged his decision, and has put his entry “Storia del amor” in the lineup, both releasing the song and putting it in the running order of the first semi-final.
