Hello and Welcome!

This is my blog all about Montenegro and its participation in the 2019 Dare to Dream Eurovision Song Contest.

I am doing this as a part of my Eurovision: Three Minute Europe class at Seattle University, so throughout this quarter, I will be exploring and analyzing Montenegro and its presence at Eurovision over the years, but mainly the most recent competition.

Stay tuned!
