Hurricane win Beovizija and will represent Serbia at Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with "Hasta La Vis

Serbia held the tenth edition of their national selection show Beovizija 2020 at the weekend, selecting girl group Hurricane as their winner and entrant for the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. They will travel to Rotterdam in May to represent their country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, performing their song “Hasta La Vista”.

Twenty-four acts were chosen for Beovizija 2020 and each of these competed in one of two semi-finals. Six acts from each semi-final advanced to the grand final where the winner was selected from a combination of jury and public votes. Hurricane topped both the jury and public vote and was crowned the winner of Beovizija 2020.

Serbia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest as part of Yugoslavia from 1961-1992, and as part of Serbia and Montenegro in 2004 and 2005. They made their solo debut in 2007 where they won the contest with Marija Šerifovic and the song “Molvita”. Željko Joksimovic also managed to finish third for the country in 2012 with the song “Nije ljubav stvar”. In the last two years, Serbia finished nineteenth and eighteenth in the grand final respectively. Hurricane will be hoping they can improve on this and finish higher up the leaderboard. To do this, they will have to compete against forty other countries.
