Princ has won the 2025 edition of 'Pesma za Evroviziju' and will now represent Serbia in Basel with the song 'Mila'.

On Friday 28 February, TV viewers in Serbia had an important task at hand. After two semi-finals of the country's pre-selection Pesma za Evroviziju , it was time for the final - and for the nation to choose its song for Basel.

They did it and we have it! The ballad Mila will represent Serbia at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, performed by Princ.

The song came out on top of what was a starting lineup of 16 Eurovision hopefuls. Scores came from a public vote and a jury vote, with each source contributing 50% of the points.

Mila won the competition with 18 points, followed by Aladin (performed by Harem Girls) on 17 points and MASK (by Vukayla) on 16 points.

Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest

Serbia debuted as an independent nation at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007; previously they had participated as part of Yugoslavia and also as one half of the union between Serbia and Montenegro.

They won on their first attempt when Marija Šerifović delivered a spellbinding performance of Molitva (‘Prayer’) in Helsinki.

Singer-songwriter Željko Joksimović delivered his country’s best result since their victory when he performed Nije Ljubav Stvar (‘Love Is Not A Thing’) at Baku 2012, finishing third.

Serbia has secured two Marcel Bezençon awards for artistry; the first went to Molitva in the year Marija won, and the second was given to Konstrakta for her avant-garde pop anthem In Corpore Sano (‘In A Healthy Body’) in 2022.
