Goran Bregović to compose Serbian entry

Belgrade, Serbia - Serbian broadcaster RTS has announced that famous musician/composer, Goran Bregović, will compose the country's entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Oslo, Norway in May.

At a press conference held in the Serbian capital, Belgrade today, it was announced that Goran Bregović would write the Serbian entry. This will be the first significant change in national final format for Serbia since they first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest as an independent state in 2007.

RTS PR manager, Duška Vučinić Lučić, explained that the new format includes one composer (Bregović) writing three songs for ten artists who are hand-picked by the composer and RTS. These 10 will then compete to represent their country in Oslo in May.

Bregović said that he "does not believe that there is a recipe for how to write a song for this competition because it is different every year". He did however say that he'd most like a young person to perform the song.

Speculation has already been rife, with various names of possible candidates to perform the song(s) floating around.

Further details about when the national final is to be held will be made at a later date. Watch this space!
