Prior to the Montenegrin independence referendum in 2006 which culminated into the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro,[1] both nations use to compete at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and Eurovision Song Contest as Serbia and Montenegro.[2] Serbia were the first of the two nations to compete at Junior Eurovision Song Contest making their debut at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006.[3][4]

On 18 July 2014, it was announced that Montenegro would debut at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 as an independent nation.[5] [6] On 21 August 2014, it was revealed that 14 year-old Montenegrin singer Maša Vujadinović and 12 year-old Montenegrin-American singer Lejla Vulić would represent the nation at the contest with the song "Budi dijete na jedan dan" (Montenegrin: Буди дијете на један дан, English: Be a child for a day).[7] The running order draw for the contest took place on 9 November 2014, and Montenegro was drawn to perform 10th at the 15 November contest, following Slovenia and preceding Italy.[8] At the close of the voting, Montenegro placed 14th in a field of 16 songs, scoring 24 points.[9][10]

On 1 July 2015, the Montenegrin national broadcaster RTCG announced that Jana Mirković had been internally selected to represent Montenegro in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015, performing the song "Oluja".[11] For the performance at the contest, Jana Mirković and her four dancers were dressed in costumes: a green dress and dark blue jacket for the Montenegrin representative, and entirely dark blue dresses for the backing dancers. The backdrop began with clouds and rain and transitioned into a colorful city night-scene as the performance progressed. Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Montenegro had placed 14th with the public televote and 12th with the jury vote. In the public vote, Montenegro scored 23 points, while with the jury vote, the entry scored 21 points.[12]

In January 2024, the Montenegrin broadcaster announced they will broadcast the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024, however, no statement on participation was mentioned.[13] However Montenegro wasn’t on the final list of participants published by the EBU on the 3 September 2024.[14] The nation has not returned to the contest since.[15]
