History (1956 to 2007):
Bosnia-Herzegovina's previous appearances: 13 year(s) out of 52
Years participated: 1993-1997; 1999; 2001-
Best result: 3rd (2006)
While its ex-Yugoslav neighbours, Croatia and Slovenia, have regularly finished in the top ten at Eurovision, Bosnia's record has tended to be less impressive; however, given the country's conflict, still ongoing at the time of Bosnia's first appearance in 1993, its very participation was poignant and welcome.
Bosnia was marooned in the mid-teens for much of the 90s - 16th in 1993, 15th in 1994, 14th in 1995 and 13th in 1996, before falling back again to 22nd in 1997. Missing 1998 through relegation, the country did surprisingly well in 1999 when Dino and Beatrice hit the heights of 7th place with 'Putnici', performed in a combination of Bosnian and French. Unfortunately, the system of calculating each country's five year average meant that Bosnia had to miss 2000's contest, before resuming normal service with a 14th place in 2001, 13th in 2002, and 16th in 2003.
With the fabulous Deen and 'In the disco' finishing an impressive 9th in 2004, Bosnia deservedly found itself directly qualified for the 2005 Final, where Feminnem's 14th place for 'Call me' signalled a return to the usual form. In 2006, however, Hari Mata Hari sailed through the Semi Final with ease, his beuatiful song 'Lejla' finishing up with 229 points and 3rd place in the Final - Bosnia's best ever placing. Needless to say, the country is now directly qualified for the 2007 Final.
In 2007 Bosnia & Herzegovina was represented by Marija Šestić, finishing 11th.
This year's entry:
My prediction & opinion:
This entry is strange; it reminds me of the Romanian singer Ada Milea.
My prediction for the Semi Final: 18th to 20th
My prediction for the Final: Will not qualify
