According to an official announcement of the Slovenian broadcaster RTV SLO, Slovenia will hold a national selection for Eurovision 2021.
The singer Ana Soklič has been internally selected to represent the country at Eurovision 2021, after she had won “EMA 2020” – the national selection for Eurovision 2020.
Eurovision 2020 was cancelled and therefore Ana hasn’t got the chance to perform her song on the Eurovision stage.
Ana should has performed the song “Voda” (Eng: Water)
