Slovenia has participated 27 times in the Contest since its debut in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 in Millstreet after topping the vote in the pre-qualifying round. Prior to this it competed as part of Yugoslavia.
It has only been absent from two Contests and its best result is seventh in 1995 and 2001 respectively. Its only other Top 10 placing was at the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 in Dublin.
Since the introduction of the semi finals, it has failed to qualify 11 times and has made it to the final five times.
The country made its debut in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Marsa, finishing in 12th place. It made just one further appearance the following year, finishing in 3rd place before withdrawing citing dissatisfaction with the EBU's rules.
