Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro announced the names of the artists that will represent them in Eurovision. Rambo Amadeus has been internally selected to represent Montenegro in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, after competing three times in  2007, 2008, and 2009. Rambo Amadeus, whose real name is Antonije Pušić and who was born in Kotor, Montenegro, in 1963, explained today that the goal of his participation was to help branding Montenegro as an attractive tourist destination, a task he considered even harder than coming up with a song for the contest.

Maya Sar, the choosen artist to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a songwriter, composer and singer which works with the biggest names from the Balkan region. For many years she has been a band member for Dino Merlin with whom she performed at the 56th Eurovision Song Contest in Germany. Maya will sing her own song in the competition, which will be aired in the beginning of 2012 on BHT 1 and BH Radio 1.
