Bobi Andonov, the North Macedonian representative at the 2008 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, in Limassol, wishes to represent his nation at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. North Macedonia have yet to announce their participation plans.

Bobi finished in 5th place, at the 2008 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, with “Prati mi SMS” (which you can watch below) and 93 points. Bobi has told Slobden Pecat, a North Macedonian newspaper, the following:

“This is not just a dream, but something I have been planning and seriously thinking about for a long time. I spoke to MRT and expressed my desire and I am also preparing to return to Macedonia at the beginning of next year. If the country decides to participate, I will be fully committed. I want to give my whole heart.”
