Montenegro participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1] Their entry was chosen through an internal selection, organised by the Montenegrin broadcaster Radio televizija Crne Gore (RTCG). Sergej Ćetković represented Montenegro with the song "Moj svijet", which he wrote himself together with Emina Sandal. The entry qualified from the first semi-final and competed in the final.[2] This was Montenegro's first qualification to the final since their debut in the contest in 2007. Montenegro placed 19th in the final, earning 37 points.
Before Eurovision[]
Internal selection[]
On 19 November 2013, RTCG announced at a press conference at RTCG Headquarters in Podgorica that Sergej Ćetković would represent Montenegro in Copenhagen. Ćetković previously attempted to represent Serbia and Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004 where he placed eighth in their national final with the song "Ne mogu da ti oprostim".[2] Ćetković was also contacted by RTCG to represent Montenegro in early 2013, however due to time constraints he was not able to commit to the proposal.[3] In regards to his selection at the Montenegrin artist, Ćetković stated that his main goal would be to take Montenegro to the final.[4]
The Montenegrin song, "Moj svijet", was presented during a television special on 9 March 2014, which was held at the Hotel Splendid in Bečići and hosted by Sabrija Vulić.[5] The show was televised on TVCG 1 and RTV Montenegro as well as broadcast online via the broadcaster's website rtcg.me and the official Eurovision Song Contest website eurovision.tv.[6] "Moj svijet" was written by Emina Sandal, Vladan Popović and Marko Milatović.[7] An English version of the song, "My Love", with lyrics by Biljana Marković, was also recorded.[8] The music video for the song was directed by Aleksandar Kerekeš.

During the semi-final allocation draw on 20 January 2014 at the Copenhagen City Hall, Montenegro was drawn to compete in the second half of the first semi-final on 6 May 2014.[9] In the first semi-final, the producers of the show decided that Montenegro would perform 15th, following Netherlands and preceding Hungary.[10] Montenegro qualified from the first semi-final and competed in the final on 10 May 2014.[11] During the winner's press conference for the first semi-final qualifiers, Montenegro was allocated to compete in the first half of the final.[12] Their qualification marked the first time that Montenegro has qualified to the final since their debut in the contest in 2007. In the final, the producers of the show decided that Montenegro would perform 8th, following Armenia and preceding Poland.[13] Montenegro placed 19th in the final, scoring 37 points.[14]
At the contest, Sergej Ćetković was joined on stage by figure skater Jovana Stanisavljević and three backing vocalists: Ivana Cabraja, Martina Majerle and Dragan Brnas.[15][16] Martina Majerle previously represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.
