According to Andrijana Stojkovic from the Eurovision creative team, all three evening programs (two semi-finals and a final) will have a special topic inspired by Serbia and Belgrade, and the program is expected to be really impressive.

The first semi-final will introduce the video "Video Killed the Radio Star", including new versions of the greatest Eurovision hits.
Slobodan Trkulia will perform together with 60 more artists on stage.

Evening of the second semi-final titled "Serbia for beginners" is planned as a kind of pop-circus. Namely, Serbian heritage will be presented through various music styles and the program will be hosted by the famous ballet dancer Konstantin Kostjukov.
The Belgrade National Theater will also be presenting a part of the "Who's singing over there?" Ballet.

The final will start with Marija Serifovic’s performance of the song "Molitva" in a new arrangement, followed by 21 dancers on the stage.
A mini-concert of Goran Bregovic and his "Wedding and Funeral Orchestra" will be held after, Stojkovic said.

Stage construction and decoration at the "Belgrade Arena" is planned to be finished until April 25th, while overall preparations have to be finished until May 10th, before the arrival of the contestants’ delegations in Belgrade on May 11th.
