10th jury vote declared

OGAE Macedonia: 12 points to Serbia

The official Eurovision Song Contest fan club of FYR Macedonia has declared the results of their members' preview vote, and they have given the first 12 points of the year to the 2008 host country, Serbia. Fellow neighbours, Slovenia, pick up second place, and ten valuable points.

FYR Macedonia's fan club vote sees Serbia pushing back towards the top of the leaderboard after slipping a little in the last few rounds. Slovenia pick up their highest points score to date:

The top 10:

  • Serbia 88 (12 points)
  • Slovenia 67 (10 points)
  • Russia 62 (8 points)
  • Ukraine 52 (7 points)
  • Sweden 47 (6 points)
  • Norway 42 (5 points)
  • Armenia 40 (4 points)
  • Bulgaria 40 (3 points)
  • Bosnia-Herzegovina 36 (2 points)
  • Iceland 30 (1 point)

Just missing out:

  • Belarus 29
  • Czech Republic 22
  • Andorra 21
  • Ireland 21
  • Hungary 20

This pushes serbia back into the top five on the scoreboard with 43 points. Runaway leaders, Sweden are slowing down, and have still not made it passed the 100 mark, although they are just one point away. Aremnia jump to 63 points, but will be disappointed to miss the opportunity of further closign down the leaders. Ukraine's seven points see them move clear of Switzerland in third place. Slovenia had just one point prior to this vote and storm into  the top fifteen.

You're welcome - hope you'll have a great time here in Belgrade :)
I forgot to mention - I've had a coffe break in Kavadarci once
And I was in Bogdanci too :D

real globetrtter through Macedonia
But, let's be honest - it oesnt take too much effort to explore Macedonia - with good car it takes approximately 3 hrs from border to Ohrid
(and - I don't mean to be offensive - it's actually kinda cute :))

@ IT,
wow man, u have been at more places in Macedonia than me, :P
Thats great!
As u said, we had been one country, so its normal for us to respect and love each other's countries and cultures.

P.S
I just love Kopaonik, its magical.
Visiting Belgrade next mount,,, cheers!

"I wonder why OGAE Serbia gave 0 points to Macedonia???
I just wonder?"
@Kristian
It cuz OGAE is a team of 10,15,or 50 members and those members won't decide for the final outcome of the real voting.
I am sure Macedonia will get some points from Serbia as usual

@haris v
It s Macedonia not Masedonia and you claim it is yours.Macedonia was not only what Greece(your country i assume) grabbed years ago but it was much more then that.
Google it,search for the map,you will see
I mean,i dunno why i am telling you this

@Ivica
Despite the annoying politics they(the greeks) lead the Macedonians were still giving points to them cuz they(we) like Greek music as well as Serbian,Bosnian,Croatian...
But this year i will be really surprised if they get a single point

My friend Im sorry if u dont remember but probably u have an amnesia, u are saying that in Yugoslavia there was no republic named Macedonia, then pls find some old vhs tape with Tito's speech, and im sure he will remind u which countries were part of Ex-Yugoslavia,
I agree, this place is for music and we should talk about it, I would like to see Macedonia giving points to your country despite your country has never gave a single point to Macedonia,but I really doubt,
anyway good luck,,,

so i always knew that yougoslavia was one nation one country when you decided to cut that country into pieces i knew taht ther is a p[lace named croatia , bosnia serbia , montenegro etc there was no place called masedonia the place of todays scopia was vardarsca if i remember well why you dont call the new country like that? i cant understand greece always had great realation with all yougoslavian nation and know just for a name that is conected with greek history we have all these troubles i cant understand why you choose a greek place to named your country anyway we have to stop talking about politics and history and talk aboyt the contest i whish you good luck

Tk what are you talking about who is racist take a map of greece and you will see that the north place of greece called macedonia and that name exist for thousant years .so how a new country want to take a name that already exist and its also a place of a neigbour country imagine that for examle traki thats is near macedonia and under boulgaria would want to became a new country and chooce for namethe name of bulgaria 2what would you say aabout that?

Aris
Did I say something wrong?Why are you so upset?
Maybe because I said that Macedonia loves her neighbors, and all nationalities, (or u and your country just prefer to not be)and even it will sound strange but we will still accept you and besides all bad things you says for us, we want u to know that u r always welcome in Macedonia,
And yes, my cousin's name is Alexander, we are all proud for that name.

IT
You are welcome in Kumanovo too, the second largest city in Macedonia, and closest to Serbia,
cheers
