Serbia: Artists announced for Pesma za Evroviziju 2023

Serbia have announced the artists and details for their Eurovision 2023 national final 'Pesma za Evroviziju' (Song for Eurovision)'.

The artist announcement includes eight artists from last year's 'Pesma za Evroviziju' and two previous Eurovision competitors.

Competing this year is Tijana Dapčević who represented F.Y.R Macedonia at the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. She finished 13th in the semi-final two with 'To The Sky'.

Another Eurovision returnee is the newly formed and revamped Hurricane.

Hurricane represented Serbia at Eurovision 2021 and were set to represent their country in 2020 before the competition was cancelled. The original Hurricane group line-up with Sanja Vučić, Ivana Nikolić and Ksenija Knežević finished 15th place in the Eurovision 2021 Grand Final in Rotterdam with 'Loco Loco'.

Last year the group decided to part ways and focus on their solo careers. Three new members were selected to replace the women, they include Jovana Radić, Sara Kourouma and Miona Srećković. The new Hurricane will compete with the song 'Zumi Zimi Zami'.
