Today Serbia’s state broadcaster RTS made it official: The beloved Balkan nation plans to the Eurovision Song Contest!

Please note that we said plans. The news, which was published on RTS’s web site this morning, stresses that “finances remain a major problem” and that things could still fall through.

RTS reserves the right to the allowable limit set by the EBU (October 10th 2014) to terminate their participation without consequence, provided it has not managed to solve the problem of financial resources needed to participate in this prestigious music competition.

Officials say that they will decide how to choose their contestant later. Given that money is a problem, we suspect they may pull an Israel and choose internally.

Are you guys excited that Serbia is planning a return? Let us know below.
