PRESENTERS
Zeljko Joksimovic and Jovana Jankovic
The hosts of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade are none other than former entrant, Zeljko Joksimovic and Jovana Jankovic.
Zeljko was the representative for Serbia & Montenegro at the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest with Lane Moje. He took second place at the competition in Istanbul and will be the male host this year. He will be accompanied by Jovana Jankovic, a popular Serbian television show host on RTS1.
The greatest and the most important music festival in Europe, the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest, will be held in Belgrade in May. Almost all the participating countries have chosen their representatives.
Jovana was host of the draw for the semifinals, which was held a couple of weeks ago in Belgrade City hall. She started her career in BKTV where she hosted "Blockbuster", a show about movies. Then she changed her working environment and left RTS. Now she is the host of the Morning Programme on Radio Televizija Srbije, RTS.
Zeljko was born in Valjevo (western Serbia), he studied music, and famously came 2nd in Istanbul for Serbia & Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004 with the song "Lane moje."
They both said they are very honoured to be the hosts. Jovana said she thinks that she did a great job during the draw ceremony so probably they decided to choose her therefore.
Zeljko said he thought he was going to be just a guest at the Eurovision Song Contest this year, but when they offered him to be a host, he was very proud and decided to accept the role.
