The controversy surrounding the voting decisions of the Serbian Eurovision jury continues to rage in the wake of the 2026 Eurovision final held in Vienna. Dara from Bulgaria emerged victorious, but Serbian fans remain vocal about the jury's scoring, which included Dušan Alagić, Ivan Mileusnić, Mateja Blažić, Anđela Vranić Lores, Aleksandra Kovač, Jelena Tomašević, and Marija Marić Marković (Mari Mari).

Singer Zejna, who competed in the Serbian Eurovision selection, has criticized the jury's decision to award points to Israel. In the first semifinal, the Serbian jury gave Israel 12 points, while in the final, they awarded 4 points. Greece received 12 points from the Serbian jury.

Zejna shared her thoughts in a TikTok video, stating, "Some jury members claim they were professional when awarding 12 points to Israel. In their own way, they think they are important. My personal opinion is that this was a poor decision."

Why did Croatian group Lelek not receive any points from the Serbian jury?

The Croatian group Lelek, who represented Croatia with their song "Andromeda," received no points from the Serbian jury despite the Serbian public awarding them a maximum of 12 points. This decision has also sparked significant debate, especially as Croatia awarded Serbia and the band "Lavina" the maximum points from both the public and jury in the final.
