# Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 1993

Makes more sense to merge the two together, as Kvalifikacija was the "semi-final" of its time, and the Eurovision article does mention the pre-qualification round and also includes the participation table too. Merging would expand that article much better and bring it in-line with the ESC articles since the introduction of the semifinal round in 2004. Wes Mouse  T@lk 08:49, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Oppose: Unlike the 2004-onwards semi-finals, this was seen as a one-off event arranged separately from the main contest, and should be considered such on Wikipedia. Lilduff90 (talk) 21:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

I changed the language of the Bosnia and Herzegovina song from "Bosnian" to "Serbo-Croatian". Bosnian language as an official term did not exist in 1993. The official language of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was Serbo-Croatian throughout all of its existence. The first official usage of the term "Bosnian language" came in 1994 with the Constitution of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (a year after this competition). In the Constitution of the FB&H, official languages were Bosnian and Croatian languages (see [1]). So, there is no basis to call the language of the song "Bosnian" when Bosnian language officially did not exist at the moment. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:00, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Do you have any sources to back this up? As Wikipedia is based around reliable sourcing, although this may be true, all sources we have on the article right now describe the song as being performed in Bosnian. If there are any sources that describe "Sva bol svijeta" as being performed in Serbo-Croatian then I would support changing this, but until then it should remain as Bosnian given that is what the sources we have indicate. In addition, I am struggling to find when "Bosnian" as a term for the language was first used, so while I do not doubt your statement above I cannot verify it; hence the requirement for good sources that back up changes like this.
