Notes

  1. 1 2 Progressed through Kvalifikacija za Millstreet
  2. ↑ According to the then-Eurovision rules, the top ten non-Big Four countries from the previous year along with the Big Four automatically qualified for the grand final without having to compete in semi-finals. Although Serbia and Montenegro finished in the top ten in 2005, they did not participate in the 2006 contest, and their place in the final was awarded to 11th-place Croatia.
  3. ↑ Qualified through the back-up jury selection
  4. ↑ The 2020 contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2]
