Search Festivali i Këngës në RTK on Amazon. Festivali i Këngës në RTK (sq;

), or simply Festivali i Këngës or Fest, is a planned annual music competition in Kosovo organised by the national broadcaster Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK) since 2023.

History[edit]

The contest was modelled on the basis of the festival of the same name held in Albania since 1962 and used as the Albanian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest since 2003. Kosovo, formerly part of Yugoslavia, has never participated in the Eurovision Song Contest on its own, but the contest has been broadcast in the territory since 1961 and a number of Kosovan artists have represented Albania or Serbia in the event.

Despite its inability to become a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in order to take part in the contest,[1] in February 2023 Kosovan broadcaster RTK started to develop the format, with the long-term aim of using it as its national selection for Eurovision.[2][3] The format was ultimately defined on 7 March 2023.[4][5]

Editions[edit]
