Before Eurovision
BH Eurosong 1995
Radiotelevision of Bosnia-Herzegovina (RTVBiH) held the national final on 8 March 1995 at its television studios in Sarajevo,[1] hosted by Ismeta Dervoz. Davorin Popović sang all the songs and the winner was chosen by a jury. Initially there was a tie between "Dvadeset prvi vijek" and "Bez tebe" so the jury had to vote again between these two songs, with "Dvadeset prvi vijek" eventually being declared the winner. The contest was hosted by Ismeta Krvavac.[2]
Davorin Popović had already been selected internally to represent the country. Eight songs were performed by Popović, and the winner was chosen by an expert jury.[3]
“Dvadeset prvi vijek”, composed by Sinan Alimanović and Zlatan Fazlić, eventually won.[4]
