Montenegro: National final for the first time in ten years
Montevizija 2018 will select the next Montenegrin entry for Eurovision Song Contest. Montevizija takes place on 17 February 2018
After years of internal selections, the Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG has decided to select the song for Eurovision 2018 via national selection, called "Montevizija". The country's national selection has not been used since 2007. The debuting Eurovision year for Montenegro was in 2007, where the country used "MontenegroSong" to select it's first entrant Stevan Faddy with "Ajde Kroci".
Between November and mid-December 2017, it will be possible to submit songs for Montevizija 2018. A committee consisting of professional musicians has the task of selecting five acts to "Montevizija 2018" which takes place in the capital Podgorica on Saturday 17 February 2018. Public televoting will solely decide the winner and who will go to Lisbon.

Montenegro has participated in Eurovision Song Contest nine times since it's debut as an independent country in Eurovision 2007.
They qualified for the Grand Final two times out of nine: In 2014, with the song "Moj Svijet" by Sergej Ćetković, and in 2015: Knez with "Adio". Knez finished 13th, which is also the best result for Montenegro.
