19 - 133 pts, 9 - 117 in semi 2

Nova Deca by Sanja Ilić & Balkanika was the entry for the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest.
Nova Deca (New kids) was written by Aleksandar Sanja Ilic, Darko Dimitrov, Danica Krstajic and Tatjana Karajanov

Watch the original live performance here at the RTS Youtube channel.

The digital single was released on April 11.
An English Reggae version New Children, with lyrics by Luke Black was recorded and can be heard on a YTvideo.

The promo cds has the Eurovision version, karaoke, unplugged and English versions plus three other songs.

2020 album Stand Up includes a version titled Nova Deca 2020 but the only difference I can hear is a tiny bit of rumble before/in the intro.

Also the credited songwriters have changed.

Stand Up is released on CD and LP through Croatia records

Serbia selected the entry for Lisbon in a National Final Beovizija on February 20.
17 songs were selected. Among the contestants was Rambo Amadeus (Montenegro 2012). He teamed up with 70's star Beti Đorđević but only ended 9th.
You can listen to all the songs here at RTS Beovizija Youtube channel.
