Who is Željko Joksimović? Well, for the Eurovision fans his name is very well known. He already represented Serbia & Montenegro at the ESC in 2004 with the song "Lane moje", placing second. Do you remeber the song?


Together with Jovana Janković (they are married since 2012) he hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Serbia. In the same year he composed the song 'Oro' for Jelena Tomašević, who was qualified directly to the Eurovision final after the victory from Marija Šerifović one year before with 'Molitva'. Željko returned to the Eurovision stage in 2012 in Baku and represented Serbia. His song "Nije ljubav stvar" ended on a very good third place in the Eurovision final.

He knows very well the contest and for sure he will surprise us with a fantastic song for Knez. Who knows, maybe Knez will reach the best result in Eurovision history for Montenegro in Vienna..
