Artists and songwriters from any nationality were able to submit songs, however songs were required to be submitted in either Bosnian, Serbian or Croatian.[1][better source needed] At the closing of the deadline, 30 submissions were received by BHRT. On 16 January 2007, the broadcaster announced that they had internally selected Marija Šestić to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in Helsinki.[2][3]

The song to be performed at the contest, "Rijeka bez imena", was presented during a television special entitled BH Eurosong 2007 on 5 March 2007. The show was broadcast on BHT 1.

A Serbian language version and English language version of the song were prepared. BHRT decided that the song would be performed in Serbian at the Eurovision Song Contest.[4]
