[edit]Radiotelevizija Bosne i Hercegovine (RTVBiH) announced at the end of 1993 that it had internally selected Alma Čardžić as its representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, 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] RTVBiH held the national final at its television 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]
