Following the conclusion of Eurovision 2026, one of the main topics on the Balkan agenda has been the voting dynamics between Serbia and Croatia. While Serbia's public awarded Croatia's group "Lelek" with 12 points, Serbia's jury gave them zero points.

This decision sparked intense reactions from the public, particularly given that Croatia awarded Serbia's group "Lavina" a total of 24 points—12 from the jury and 12 from the public.

Despite the lack of points from Serbia's jury, the Croatian representatives did not let it affect their overall mood, expressing satisfaction with their performance. "On the Eurovision stage in the final, we felt like queens! We gave everything we had, and we completely felt the presence of the audience in the final. We are happy! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who voted and supported us," the girls from "Lelek" said right after the competition.

"Lavina" Provided Maximum Support

"We have nothing against 'Lavina.' In fact, we spent time together in Vienna, and the boys told us they were giving us maximum support," they added.

They also commented on the winner of this year's Eurovision, Bulgaria's representative, praising her victory in a true sporting spirit: "We would have given her 12 points too."

This year's Eurovision was the 70th edition, held in Vienna, and the winner was Dara from Bulgaria, who impressed both the jury and the public with her song "Bangaranga," securing a total of 516 points.
