Their song, "Lejla", was presented to the public during a show entitled BH Eurosong 2006 on 5 March 2006.
Bosnia and Herzegovina competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 18 May 2006. Performing during the show in position 22, "Lejla" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 20 May.
