In the Serbia & Montenegro final, judges from both Serbia and Montenegro give votes to all songs, and just as they did last year the Montenegro judges gave the top Serbian singer no points, meaning that Monenegrin group "No Name" go through to the final in Athens, whilst the Serbian judges did give points to them. Confusing I know and it doesn't bother me greatly but I thought I'd put it up anyway...

Serbia and Montenegro will probably not be taking part in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest due to an internal conflict about the candidate between Serbian broadcaster RTS and Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG. In the national final no votes were given to the Serbian top candidate (Flamingosi ft. Luis) by the Montenegrin jury. On the other hand, the four Serbian jurors awarded points to Montenegrin hopefulls No Name (ESC 2005). Added to the televoting No Name came out on top, but Serbian broadcaster RTS refuses to accept them as their candidate. If this happens, my guess would be Croatia would take their place in the final, as they finished 11th last year. EDIT: Serbia & Montenegro have withdrawn.

No I don't think so, although last year Lebanon were chucked out because they weren't allowed to show the Israeli entry on their TV station for some reason. It's a shame Serbia & Montenegro are out though, as their last two songs have been very good and have both finished in the top ten with 2004's coming second. It is official btw now.

They have withdrawn as last night's national final was a disaster once again meaning that Croatia are now directly into the final of the Eurovision 2006. Serbia & Montenegro will still be allowed to vote though.
