Outside of pop music, which is high-profile and prone to be politicised because of its TV and media exposure, many musicians from the region are getting on with making good non-partisan music that transcends ethnic or nationalist categories.

I think the only reason Serbia was angry is because they were jealous of the fact that Montenegro simply had a better song then them. And so what if they did not show the Serbian flag? Are they from Serbia? Do they really care about it?
Nora M, Kosovo

Nora's comment is not right. Everything in the Balkan's is connected to politics in some way. I am sure everything that has happened in this year's Eurovision is Montenegrin propaganda for separating from Serbia. Kosovo was and always will be The Heart of Serbia and Albanian emigration to Kosovo is a plan to take it over. As long as any Serbs are alive, Kosovo will not become independent.
Tomic Anton, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Of course it was political. My favourite was sung by Romana, and the Serbian songs were much better that the Montenegrin ones. The judges of Montenegro were very unfair I felt, and didn't give any points to Serbian songs. They hate each other even though they are the same nation and country. Shame to Montenegro this year! The song, by No Name of Montenegro, was awful!
