A well-deserved win. You are welcome for your thank.
Radio Television of Montenegro (RTCG) still remain silent and calm while Vasilije can not hide his excitement. Rumors claim that RTCG on a press confrence tomorrow will announce thier participation, their representer and a 15 second teaser of the song. The name of the song should be When You Call My Name.
Last but not least, Vasilije has a message for the people who are confused about this situation:
The last representer of Montenegro was Knez. He represented his country in Vienna with the song Adio which is composed by Željko Joksimović. The song ended 13th with 44 points which is the best result so far from Montenegro. That song you can see in the video below:
Update (12th of September at 15:50 CET): Montenegro hasn’t yet presented their artist, and other sources indicate that this might just be a fantasy of Vasilije Ojdanić. Time will tell.
