Welcome to the first NF deep dive of the season! In this series, I look at all links between the writers/artist of a national final lineup with other songs from the Eurovision world. The thread contains a detailed plot for each song 🧵
A quick disclaimer: Many of the credits were revealed with an initial instead of a full first name. Thus there may be a slight insecurity with some of these connections. If any mistakes come to my attention, they will be noted at the end of the thread. Now let's get to it!
Neonoen - "Clickbait"
Band member Marko has a past with the Eurovision world. In 2005 he placed 6th in the Serbo-Montenegrin national final. Two years later, he placed 3rd in the first ever national final of an independent Montenegro. How will his band do this time?

Verica Čuljković - "Čuješ li"
Verica has gotten help from Filip Tančić with her song. He previously wrote Filip Žmaher's entry from PZE23, which unfortunately failed to advance from its semi final. Will he do better this time?

Nina Žižić - "Dobro došli"
No stranger to Eurovision, Nina has competed in a few before, and represented Montenegro at Eurovision 2013 with "Igranka". Her song was written by Boris Subotić of PZE fame, and A-list Balkan songwriter Darko Dimitrov (Firefighter/Proud/Loco loco)

Anastasija Koprolčec - "Kraj"
Anastasija makes her debut in the Eurovision world with the help of Stevan Milijanović who placed 12th in Beovizija 2020 with his group EJO, and the ethnic "Trag", as well as Bojan Marović, who placed 9th in the Serbo-Montenegrin NF of 2005

Isak Šabanović - "Ljeto, ljeto, ljeto"
Isak's song was written by Eurovision royalty Leontina, who helped Serbia and Montenegro reach second place with Lane Moje. This is her third Eurovision collab with Nemanja Filipović, having also written for JESC 2020 and Beovizija 2020

Nemanja Petrović - "Među zvijezdama"
A big name in the Balkan songwriting scene, Bane Opačić has had surprisingly little to do with Eurovision. His songs have placed 12th in Beovizija 2004 and 16th in the 2008 semi final. Can he reach the top positions this time?

Kejt - "Obala raja"
Kejt participated under her full name back in Montevizija 2018, reaching 2nd place only 3% of the televote short of winning. Can she win it all this time?

Glumci Band - "San"
Miha Radonjić has quite a history with Montenegrin preselections, though never quite managing to break through. His best result was 8th place in MontenegroSong 2007

Milena Vučić - "Škorpija"
A major name in Balkan, Milena previously placed 3rd in the Serbo-Montenegrin NF of 2004, in a group that also included Nina Žižić. It seems her song was written by Eurovision icon Sanja Vučić, as well as Marko, who wrote Jelena Karleuša's song in 04

Đurđa - "To ljubav je"
A truly international team, Norwegian Jonas has written songs for MGP like "Death of Us" and "Not Meant to Be", while Serbian Kristina has written songs like Serbian ESC 2011 entry "Čaroban", and Hungarian Olivér Patocska has competed in post-ESC A Dal

BONUS: Danijel Popović - "Kano kastigan"
While not in the lineup now, Daniel is in the back up list. The most succesful Montenegrin in Eurovision by far, he took Yugoslavia all the way to 4th place with "Džuli" at Eurovision 1983, and has since attempted a comeback many times
