Bosnia & Herzegovina

Need to know:

Flamboyant alternative rocker Elvir Lakovic Laka has enjoyed huge success in Bosnia and the Balkans since his first single, Malo Sam Se Razocar'o (I'm A Little Bit Disappointed), was released in 1998. When Pokuöaj, which means Try, was selected by Bosnian national broadcaster BHT as Bosnia and Herzegovina's Eurovision entry Laka's tongue-in-cheek stage set included dancers dressed as farm hands and a live chicken. The farmhands and co-vocalist Mirela will be with him in Belgrade - but he's unlikely to be bringing the chicken.

Track record:

Bosnia and Herzegovina made their Eurovision debuted in 1993 and this will be the 14th time they have competed. The highest they've ever finished was third, in 2006.
