Albania\u2019s first entry in the “Eurovision Song Contest” was in 2004. Until now (2024) the country’s highest placing had been the 5th place, in 2012 with the song \u201cSuus\u201d performed by Rona Nishliu. Albania\u2019s 2nd-highest placing was accomplished when participating for the first time in 2004, with the song \u201cThe Image of You\u201d performed by Anjeza Shahini, finishing in 7th place. <\/p>\n

During its tenure in the Eurovision contest, Albania failed to qualify for the final 8 times. The annual festival \u201cFestivali i K\u00ebng\u00ebs\u201d has been consistently used as Albania\u2019s national selection format for the Eurovision Song Contest, since its 2004 debut. \u201cFestivali i K\u00ebng\u00ebs\u201d is an annual music competition, and is confirmed that Albania would continue to use the festival as its selection method for the Eurovision Song Contest.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n20 Vjet t\u00eb Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb n\u00eb Festivalin “Eurovision”<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Dihet se festivali Eurovision pati filluar para afro 70 viteve, n\u00eb v. 1956 n\u00eb Lugano t\u00eb Zvicr\u00ebs, e po ashtu si\u00e7 e dim\u00eb, edhe festivali i radh\u00ebs 2025 do jet\u00eb n\u00eb Basel t\u00eb Zvicr\u00ebs.
\nNatyrisht, kuptohet se festivalet muzikore jan\u00eb organizime t\u00eb bukura, jan\u00eb vet\u00eb “d\u00ebshmia” se 60-70 vite Evropa duke k\u00ebnduar, duke garuar e duke vall\u00ebzuar, s’ka si m\u00eb bukur apo jo… Sidoqoft\u00eb, Shqip\u00ebria pati filluar para 20 viteve, ato 50 vitet pararend\u00ebse s’e dim\u00eb “ku ishte”, mbase e “hutuar” me historin\u00eb e vet, por dmth mungonte. <\/p>\n

Apo se mos vet\u00ebm Shqip\u00ebria mungonte, kishte dhe t\u00eb tjer\u00eb q\u00eb “mungonin”, psh. n\u00eb Luganon e nism\u00ebs pat\u00ebn marr\u00eb pjes\u00eb 14 shtete, pastaj n\u00eb festivalet e radh\u00ebs n\u00eb Frankfurt 1957, dhe Hilversum t\u00eb Holand\u00ebs 1958… vet\u00ebm nga 10 shtete, madje dhe n\u00eb v. 1970 n\u00eb Amsterdam ishin vet\u00ebm 12 shtete.
\nNd\u00ebrsa tani (si krahasim) marrin pjes\u00eb dhe mbi 40 shtete, psh. 3 her\u00eb radhazi n\u00eb “Eurovision-et” e viteve 2016, 2017, 2018 ishin nga 43 shtete, mua madje m\u00eb shkon buza n\u00eb gaz q\u00eb madje dhe Australia si nj\u00eb kontinent “bosh” merr pjes\u00eb (politikisht shtiren gjoja si “shtet” : ) <\/p>\n

Pra tashm\u00eb mrekullia vet\u00eb, dikur nga 10, 12, 15 nd\u00ebrsa tani dhe nga 40 shtete garojn\u00eb duke k\u00ebnduar, anise viteve t\u00eb fundit her\u00eb 36, her\u00eb 35, 38, 37…
\n“Hyrja” e Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb n\u00eb fastivalin Eurovision ishte n\u00eb v. 2004. Deri tani (2024) plasimi m\u00eb i lart\u00eb ishte vendi i 5-t\u00eb, n\u00eb v. 2012 me k\u00ebng\u00ebn “Suus”, interpretuar nga Rona Nishliu. Plasimi i 2-t\u00eb m\u00eb i lart\u00eb i Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb u arrit kur mori pjes\u00eb p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb n\u00eb v. 2004, me k\u00ebng\u00ebn “The Image of You” (Imazhi Yt) interpretuar nga Anjeza Shahini, duke p\u00ebrfunduar n\u00eb vendin e 7-t\u00eb. <\/p>\n

Gjat\u00eb k\u00ebtyre 20 viteve Shqip\u00ebria d\u00ebshtoi t\u00eb kualifikohej n\u00eb finalen e Eurovision 8 her\u00eb. Q\u00eb nga debutimi n\u00eb v. 2004, “Festivali i K\u00ebng\u00ebs” \u00ebsht\u00eb p\u00ebrdorur vazhdimisht si formati komb\u00ebtar p\u00ebrzgjedh\u00ebs i Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb p\u00ebr festivalin Eurovision. Duke qen\u00eb “Festivali i K\u00ebng\u00ebs” nj\u00eb konkurs muzikor i p\u00ebrvitsh\u00ebm tashm\u00eb \u00ebsht\u00eb konfirmuar se Shqip\u00ebria do t’vazhdoj\u00eb ta p\u00ebrdor\u00eb festivalin si metod\u00eb p\u00ebrzgjedh\u00ebse t\u00eb k\u00ebng\u00ebs garuese n\u00eb Eurovision.<\/p>\n
