Gozitan singer Morena has left Malta for Belgrade carrying Malta’s hopes for Eurovision Song Contest success.

Her first big test will be in the semi-final on May 22, which will decide whether she will interpret Vodka in the final night two days later.

Morena has just had two days of marathon rehearsals with four Swedish male dancers who came to Malta for the purpose.

She looked anxious as she waited at the airport terminal earlier today, but chatted with a group of fans who turned up to wish her well. She asked them to pray for her. She also signed autographs for a number of Germans.

Morena is accompanied by her dancers, members of her family and a Maltasong delegation led by the chairman Robert Abela.
