There are only two ways to consume eurovision
One is as though nothing is political
The other is as though everything’s political
Serbia has been doing this since the Yugo days. Clashing with our Yugo neighbors made the national selections difficult and messy politically. Since we returned in 2004 (especially when we kicked out Montenegro in 2006), cheery-picking entries that were faithful to our cultural values was the way to go."Eurovision is not political" unless we have a bunch of politicians spending taxpayers' money to debate on whether Eurovision suits the country's morals in parliament... Jesus.
