HISTORY

Romania has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest eleven times, debuting in the 1994 contest.

After the 1994 contest Romania had a four year Eurovision hiatus, and has since participated in most years (with the exceptions of 1999 and 2001 due to poor showings in 1998 and 2000 respectively). Their best result came in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, when Luminiţa Anghel and Sistem helped the country to 1st place in the semifinal and to 3rd place in the grand final. In 2006 Romania was represented by Mihai Trăistariu who became one the favorites to win but he failed and placed 4th receiving points from every country except Netherlands and Monaco. In 2007 Todomondo failed to place in the top 10.
