Tonight's pre-selection of Ema, the Slovenian national selection for the Eurosong contest, has determined 8 performers for the grand finale next week, when this year's Slovenian representative at Eurovision will be chosen.

From the pre-selection with 16 participants, eight songs were selected: four by choice of viewers and listeners, who had the opportunity to vote, and four selected by a jury consisting of seven members (one of them was a representative of the organizer of the event, the entertainment programme of Television Slovenia).

At the beginning of February, the running order of countries in the pre-selection of this year's Eurovision Song Contest has already been drawn in Lisbon. The Portuguese capital will host the Eurovision on 8, 10 and 12 May. Slovenia will perform in the 2nd half of the second pre-selection. As in previous years, the running order of performances in the grand final will be determined by the organizers.
