BH Eurosong 1994

At the end of 1993, it was announced that Alma Čardžić was chosen internally to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in Dublin, and it was subsequently decided that she would be accompanied by Dejan Lazarević. Alma previously participated in Jugovizija 1992 and BH Eurosong 1993. A total of 39 songs were submitted to the competition, and 8 were chosen to be performed by Alma and Dejan at the national final.[1] The final was held at the Bosnian TV Studios in Sarajevo on 26 February 1994, hosted by Ismeta Krvavac. Alma and Dejan recorded videoclips of all 8 songs, but only about 1 minute of each song was shown. An expert jury chose the winner, and only the name of the winning song was announced.[2]
