BH Eurosong 1995
The final was held on 8 March 1995 at the Bosnian TV Studios in Sarajevo, hosted by Ismeta Krvavac. Davorin Popović sang all the songs and the winner was chosen by an "expert" jury. Initially there was a tie between "Dvadeset i prvi vijek" & "Bez tebe" so the "expert" jury had to vote again between these two songs. Eventually, "Dvadeset i prvi vijek" was declared the winner. [1]
