As the deadline (gives by the EBU) for countries to confirm Eurovision 2024 participation passed on 15th of September 2023, for some countries it is still unclear whether Eurovision participation is planned.

Montenegro is one of the countries that still haven’t given any official statement regarding Eurovision 2024.

Eurovision 2024 will be held in Malmö, Sweden.
The semi-final will be held on the 7th and 9th of May 2024, and the grand final will be held on the 11h of May 2024
