Šerifović won the Beovizija 2007 with the song Molitva ("Prayer") on March 8, winning the combined votes of the jury and televoting and thus qualified to be the first representative of newly independent Serbia in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland. The song was also recorded in English as "Destiny".
As a part of her Eurovision Song Contest promotional tour, Šerifović visited Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Republic of Macedonia, Switzerland and Greece.[1] Although a promotional video was originally planned,[2] a documentary film will be made which will include both the music video and the preparations for the Eurovision Song Contest.[3]

On March 12, the draw of the running order for the semi-final and the final was held. Serbia were the 15th country to participate in the semi-final, and qualified for the final, where they presented their song in the 17th position, following Germany and preceding Ukraine. Her song "Molitva" (Prayer, Serbian Cyrillic: Молитва) won the Eurovision Song Contest 2007.
When she landed on the "Nikola Tesla" airport, 70,000-100,000 people prepared a mass rally for her in front of the Civic Assembly of Belgrade.
