Bosnia and Herzegovina debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993 after coming second in the qualification round "Kvalifikacija za Millstreet", and most recently took part in 2012.
Low average scores meant Bosnia and Herzegovina did not qualify for the contests in 1998 and 2000, and the country will not participate at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö for financial reasons. The national broadcaster has stated that it hopes to return to the contest in 2014.[1]
History of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Eurovision Song Contest [edit]
Prior to 1993, Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in the Eurovision Song Contest as part of Yugoslavia.
Bosnia and Herzegovina's best result was in 2006, when Hari Mata Hari came 3rd with the song "Lejla" (second in the semi-final). Since 2004, it has reached the final every year (together with Greece, Russia, Romania and Ukraine) and therefore has never been eliminated in the semi-final.
Contestants [edit]
- XX on the semi-finals denotes auto-qualification. This could be the result of one of the following two reasons; if a country had won the previous year, they did not have to compete in the semi-finals the following year. The other reason being that back in 2004-2007, the top ten countries who were not members of the big four did not have to compete in the semi finals the following year. If, for example, Germany and France placed inside the top ten, the countries who placed 11th and 12th were advanced to the following year's grand final along with the rest of the top ten countries.
