The dates for PZE 25 have been changed! The semifinals will be on the 25th and 26th, and the grand final will be on February 28th

Festival the Pesma za Evroviziju 2025 will take place on slightly different dates than initially announced. RTS has confirmed that the semi-finals will be held on February 25 and 26, while the grand final, in which Serbia’s representative for the Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland will be chosen, will take place on February 28.

Although RTS has generally stuck to the original festival dates in the past, this year there has been a slight schedule adjustment—the second semi-final and final have been pushed back by one day.

The reason for this change has not been officially announced, but it will not affect the competition format.

What to Expect at This Year’s Pesma za Evroviziju?

A total of 30 songs will compete at PzE 2025, battling for a place in the final through two semi-final nights. All competing entries are already available on RTS’s official platforms, including the RTS Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel, as well as RTS Planeta and RTS Zvuk.

As in previous years, the competition will be held at RTS Studio 8 in Košutnjak, Belgrade, with broadcasts available on RTS TV channels, RTS Planeta, and YouTube. Viewers and listeners worldwide will be able to follow this musical showdown and support their favorites.

PzE 2025 – A Haven for Art

This year’s festival carries a symbolic message— PzE 2025 will serve as an artistic planet, an ode to art that celebrates creativity and the uniqueness of every individual. The concept aims to emphasize that every person is a work of art, and that music has the power to bring different people together through emotions and expression.

The Road to Basel

The winner of this year’s festival will represent Serbia at Eurovision 2025, which will take place in Basel, Switzerland, from May 13 to 17.

It remains to be seen who will win the hearts of both the audience and the jury and carry the Serbian flag onto the biggest European music stage.

Excitement is building, and fans eagerly await the first performances. Will this year’s contest bring Serbia another top placement? The answer will be revealed at the end of February!
