Macedonia[a] was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 with the song "Ne zori, zoro" (Не зори, зоро), composed by Grigor Koprov, with lyrics by Vlado Janevski, and performed by Janevski himself. The Macedonian participating broadcaster, Macedonian Radio Television (MRT), selected its entry through Skopje Fest 1998. This was the first-ever entry from independent Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest, and the first-ever entry performed in Macedonian in the contest, after MRT was unable to debut in the 1996 contest by failing to pass the qualifying round.
