 Molitva was the last entirely non-English song to win the Contest until the 2017 edition, where Portugal's Salvador Sobral won with Amar pelos dois, as well as being the first time a ballad had won since televoting became the standard and the first one of the so-called Balkan Ballads that came to prominence since the late 1990s to win the contest.The song is also notable for its stage presentation because it lacked dance routines, revealing or showy costumes, pyrotechnics and other gimmicks.The Eurovision Song Contest is often accused of concentrating on these things instead of the music itself.
