History
The Slovak broadcaster, RTVS, decided to debuts in the contest for the eleventh edition. It came as a surpise, because they never showed any interest to participate. They decided to perform in the English language. They finished last in their semi final, so they didnot qualify. Also in the next edition, they failed to qualify.

The broadcaster of Slovakia announced that they would no take part in the thirteenth edition. The lack of viewers was the main reason for their withdrawal.

RTVS, the Slovak broadcaster, announced that the country would return to the 24th edition. They said that they had intensive talks with the Polish broadcaster TVP, who hosted the contest in Krakow. Slovakia qualified for the final for the very first time. They were able to surprise by winning the grand final.

Because of their victory they were able to host the 25th edition. They selected Bratislava as host city. For this edition, the EBU decided to drop the semi finals because of the lack of interesting broadcasters. Slovakia finished at the 9th place. In Baku, they finished at the 18th edition. In Warsaw, they finished at the last place.

Because Slovakia finished at one of the last three possitions in the 27th edition, they were not able to take part in the next edition.
