The Race to Vienna Just Got a Whole Lot More Interesting

If you thought Semi-Final One of Pesma za Evroviziju 2026 set the bar high, Serbia looked at that bar last night, raised a single elegant eyebrow, and quietly moved it several notches further up the wall. Twelve acts took the stage, the jury and the public did their characteristically decisive thing, and by the end of the evening seven more names had been added to the Grand Final list. The road to Vienna is getting shorter, the competition is getting sharper, and Saturday the 28th of February cannot arrive quickly enough.

The evening was hosted by the wonderfully reliable Dragana Kosjerina Perduv and Kristina Radenković, with Stefan Popović holding things together from the green room — which is, as any seasoned Eurovision watcher knows, one of the more quietly heroic roles in the entire national final operation, requiring equal parts warmth, quick thinking and the ability to interview singers who are either absolutely thrilled or trying very hard not to show that they aren’t.

Twelve Acts, One Stage, Absolutely No Mercy

Here is how the evening unfolded, in the exact order the acts appeared — because running order always matters, and anyone who tells you otherwise has clearly never spent a semi-final evening anxiously tracking slot positions:

Running Order

  • Aleksandar – «Sudbina»
  • Milica Burazer – «Svima vama treba mama»
  • Sanja Aleksić – «Ko me proba»
  • LU-KA – «Veruj»
  • Jack Lupino – «Adrenalin»
  • Zona – «Čairi»
  • Brat Pelin – «Fräulein»
  • Geminni – «Metar sreće»
  • Avgust – «Jabuka»
  • Harem Girls x Ivana – «Bom Bom»
  • Aleksandra Sekulić – «Kule»
  • LAVINA – «Kraj mene»

And the Seven Who Are Through…

The jury deliberated, the public voted with feeling, the tension peaked at least twice, and when everything was counted these were the seven acts who earned their Saturday night:

Results

  • Geminni – «Metar sreće»
  • Brat Pelin – «Fräulein»
  • Zona – «Čairi»
  • LU-KA – «Veruj»
  • LAVINA – «Kraj mene»
  • Jack Lupino – «Adrenalin»
  • Harem Girls x Ivana – «Bom Bom»

Saturday Is Going to Be Something Else Entirely

These seven join the seven qualifiers from Semi-Final One, making fourteen finalists who will go head to head on Saturday 28th February for the right to carry Serbia’s flag to Vienna. Fourteen acts, one ticket, and a country that approaches its Eurovision selection with a level of passion and competitive seriousness that the rest of Europe would genuinely do well to study more carefully.

Clear your Saturday evening. Tell your friends. Belgrade is about to make some very considerable noise.
