Nina Žižić will perform the new version of her song “Dobrodošli” this Sunday, March 9.
The Montenegrin representative has announced on Instagram that she will premiere the revamped version of her Eurovison entry during the evening show “Pod Naponom”. The show will air on RTCG1 this Sunday at 20:50 CET.
Joining her on stage will be Who See, the rap duo with whom she represented Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013. They will perform their Eurovision entry “Igranka”. Additionally, the band Lomeliko will deliver a medley of popular Eurovision songs.
The Revamp of the Song
In an interview with RTCG in January, Nina revealed that the revamp will bring small adjustments, however the essence of the song will remain unchanged.
“Dobrodošli” was composed by Boris Subotić and prodouced by Darko Dimitrov. The lyrics were written by Boris Subotić and Violeta Mihajlovska . The title of the song translates to “Welcome”, and adresses the strength women hold during challenging times.
Nina Žižić was selected to represent Montenegro at Eurovision 2025 in Basel after NeoneoN, the winners of Montesong, withdrew. They had previously performed their song at a festival in 2023. As the festival runner-up, Nina was given the opportunity to take their place.
Montenegro is returning to the Eurovision Song Contest this year having last competed in Turin, Italy in 2022.

Montenegro debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest as an independent country in 2007 and participated until 2010 when they withdrew for financial reasons, Montenegro would return to the contest in 2012. Montenegro failed to qualify for the grand final until 2014 when Sergej Ćetković and his song “Moj svijet” placed 19th in the final. Their best result came a year later, when Knez performed “Adio” in Vienna. They have never reached the top 10, with Knez reaching 13th out of 27 countries. Montenegro has participated intermittently between 2019 and 2025, with withdrawals from 2020 to 2021 and 2023 to 2024.
