Bosnia and Herzegovina has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 19 times since making its debut in {{Escyr|1993}}, after coming second in the qualification round "Kvalifikacija za Millstreet". The current Bosnian-Herzegovinian participating broadcaster in the contest is the Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT).

Bosnia and Herzegovina's best result was in {{escyr|2006}}, when "Lejla" performed by Hari Mata Hari finished third. This remains the country's only top five result in the contest. The country also achieved five other top ten results: {{escyr|1999}} with "{{lang|bs|Putnici|i=no}}" by Dino Merlin (seventh), {{escyr|2004}} with "In the Disco" by Deen (ninth), {{escyr|2008}} with "{{lang|bs|Pokušaj|i=no}}" by Laka (tenth), {{escyr|2009}} with "{{lang|bs|Bistra voda|i=no}}" by Regina (ninth), and {{escyr|2011}} with "Love in Rewind" again by Dino Merlin (sixth). Bosnia and Herzegovina returned to the contest for the first time since 2012 at the {{escyr|2016}} contest, where it failed to advance from the semi-finals for the first time. The country then withdrew once again from the contest and has yet to return.

Participation

Radio Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (RTVBiH) was a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1 January 1993, thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest since then. It participated in the contest representing Bosnia and Herzegovina since its {{escyr|1993||38th edition}} that same year. In 2000, RTVBiH's EBU membership was transferred to a new parental broadcasting organisation, the Public Broadcasting Service of Bosnia and Herzegovina (PBSBiH), which participated in the contest representing the country from 2001 to 2004. On 13 August 2004, PBSBiH was succeeded by Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT), which has participated in the contest since then.

Before its independence in 1992, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of Yugoslavia. Five {{esccnty|Yugoslavia}}n entrants in the Eurovision Song Contest came from the former SR Bosnia and Herzegovina ({{esccnty|Yugoslavia|y=1964|t=1964}}, {{esccnty|Yugoslavia|y=1965|t=1965}}, {{esccnty|Yugoslavia|y=1973|t=1973}}, {{esccnty|Yugoslavia|y=1976|t=1976}}, and {{esccnty|Yugoslavia|y=1981|t=1981}}). The contest was broadcast in the socialist republic by the Yugoslav Radio Television's (JRT) affiliate RTV Sarajevo.

History

Low average scores meant Bosnia and Herzegovina did not qualify for the contests in {{escyr|1998}} and {{escyr|2000}}, and the country did not participate in the {{Escyr|2013||2013 contest}} for financial reasons. BHRT had stated that it hoped to return to the contest in 2014,{{cite web|first=Sanjay|last=Jiandani|title=Bosnia and Herzegovina will not be in Malmö|url=http://esctoday.com/40002/bosnia-herzegovina-will-not-be-in-malmo/|work=ESCToday|access-date=14 December 2012|date=14 December 2012}} and on 18 November 2013, it submitted a preliminary application to compete in the {{Escyr|2014||2014 contest}}.{{cite web|first=Sanjay|last=Jiandani|title=Bosnia Herzegovina: BHRT confirms participation in Copenhagen|url=http://esctoday.com/69860/bosnia-herzegovina-bhrt-publish/|work=ESCToday|access-date=18 November 2013|date=18 November 2013}} However, on 18 December 2013, it was announced that Bosnia and Herzegovina would not be returning for 2014.{{cite web|first=Sanjay|last=Jiandani|title=Eurovision 2014: Bosnia & Herzegovina will not compete in Copenhagen|url=http://www.esctoday.com/72547/eurovision-2014-bosnia-herzegovina-will-compete-copenhagen/|work=ESCToday|access-date=19 December 2013|date=19 December 2013}}

On 9 September 2014, BHRT announced that it had submitted an application to compete in the {{Escyr|2015||2015 contest}}.{{cite web|last1=Jiandani|first1=Sanjay|title=Bosnia & Herzegovina: BHRT confirms participation in Eurovision 2015|url=http://esctoday.com/86737/xx-xx-confirms-participation-eurovision-2015-5/|website=esctoday.com|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=9 September 2014|date=9 September 2014}} On 30 October 2014, BHRT stated that participation was still in jeopardy due to financial difficulties. The EBU granted it a deadline extension until 14 November 2014 to make a final decision regarding its participation.{{cite web|last1=Jiandani|first1=Sanjay|title=Bosnia & Herzegovina: Participation in Vienna uncertain; deadline extended|url=http://esctoday.com/89323/bosnia-herzegovina-bhrt-confirms-participation-eurovision-2015-2/|website=esctoday.com|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=31 October 2014|date=31 October 2014}} On 17 November 2014, BHRT announced that it would not be competing in the 2015 contest, having not secured the necessary funds to finance its participation.{{cite web|first=Sanjay|last=Jiandani|title=Bosnia & Herzegovina: BHRT will not return to Eurovision in 2015|url=http://esctoday.com/90077/bosnia-herzegovina-bhrt-will-return-eurovision-2015/|website=esctoday.com|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=17 November 2014|date=17 November 2014}}

After competing in 2016, on 29 September 2016, BHRT again announced its withdrawal from the competition in 2017, due to the difficult financial situation that the national broadcaster was currently facing.{{cite web|first=Sanjay|last=Jiandani|title=Bosnia & Herzegovina: BHRT will not participate in Eurovision 2017|url=http://esctoday.com/137839/bosnia-herzegovina-bhrt-will-not-participate-eurovision-2017|website=esctoday.com|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=29 September 2016|date=29 September 2016}} The following December, BHRT was sanctioned by the EBU due to unpaid debts, by restricting the broadcaster access to common resources.{{cite web|first=Granger|last=Anthony|title=Bosnia & Herzegovina: BHRT Remains Sanctioned by the EBU

|url=https://eurovoix.com/2023/11/13/bosnia-herzegovina-bhrt-remains-sanctioned-by-the-ebu/|website=Eurovoix|access-date=13 November 2023|date=13 November 2023}}

The Bosnian-Herzegovinian head of delegation, Lejla Babović, confirmed on 29 December 2018 that BHRT's current primary goal was to return to Eurovision, but its current financial situation and mounting debts with the EBU made a return in the near future highly unlikely.{{cite web|url=https://www.escxtra.com/2018/12/29/bosnia-2020-eurovision-difficult/|title=Bosnia & Herzegovina's "primary goal" is Eurovision comeback but 2020 return "difficult"|date=29 December 2018|access-date=29 December 2018}} This was confirmed for the following years, with a statement in November 2023 that the broadcaster remains under sanctions and is unable to compete in EBU events.
