#BIRTHDAY: Daniel from Yugoslavia is 65 today The country that was Yugoslavia made 27 appearances in our favourite TV show. As we know, it’s successor states have had varying fortunes since they took its place, but Yugoslavia itself wasn’t without success. For years, when they showed up it […]
#BIRTHDAY: Baby Doll from Yugoslavia is 58 today Being on first can be that double-edged sword. You get your performance out of the way (meaning more time at the bar), you get a nice fresh audience, and who knows, people have won from the front before. Casting your […]
It is with great sadness that we report that Rajko Dujmic has passed away following a traffic accident on Wednesday 29th July. Rajko was part of Novi fosili, who represented Yugoslavia in 1987, finishing 4th in Belgium. He then went on to write the Yugoslav entries in 1988 […]
In this series from Eurovision Ireland, we will be taking a look at the participating countries and their entries that have avoided the dreaded ‘Nul Points’ in the Grand Final – thanks to just one other participating country. Today we look at Yugoslavia. 1970 In 1970, Yugoslavia was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tajči from Yugoslavia is 50 today A home entry! Excellent. This one comes from a country warm enough for the home participant not to worry about wishing they’d gone somewhere more exotic. The home broadcaster was a joint effort between a national and a regional TV company. […]
Over the last 6 decades, 27 countries have won the Eurovision Song Contest, ranging from Portugal in the far west of mainland Europe, all the way across to Azerbaijan on the shores of the Caspian Sea. This also means that just over half of all countries to have […]
Can you believe it’s been 30 whole years since Tajči sang Hajde Da Ludujemo on the Eurovision stage? Not only was she the only Yugoslav entry to ever perform on home turf, but the song itself became a huge hit and to this day is a guaranteed floor-filler […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vlado from Yugoslavia is 67 today Time to slip in a little duet for your viewing pleasure. It comes from that mythical country Yugoslavia. And goes to show that, for a time at least, a larger entity can function perfectly well. Back in 1984, Yugoslavia (remember them?) […]
BIRTHDAY: Lado Leskovar of Yugoslavia is 78 today What’s your favourite type of song? Is it one that celebrates love? Or one that tells us about what we’re doing to the planet? Or something darker? They all have a place in our favourite TV show. And back in […]
Missing someone feels terrible. Missing an entire country… well now that’s just unbearable! Many nations have come and gone from the Eurovision stage over the years.

BIRTHDAY: Tereza from Yugoslavia is 81 today There’s a term called false-flagging. It’s when you come from one country but do stuff internationally for another. There’s nothing wrong with it, and many Eurovision stars have done such a thing. Maybe even your favourite ever performer. Today’s birthday girl […]
Have you ever tried to say different phrases while wearing a mouthpiece that won’t let them shut your mouth? That’s exactly what the ‘Speak Out‘ game does! Here, at Eurovision Ireland, we thought to combine this game with our favourite topic: Eurovision! The idea came to us while […]
BIRTHDAY: Tajči from Yugoslavia is 49 today I’ve got that home entry feeling again. And this could be one with a difference. The home broadcaster was a joint effort between a national and a regional TV company. That regional TV company is now a national one. Back in […]
