Though France took the first top mark, the jury vote quickly turned into a battle between Finland and Monaco. They took turn leading the scoreboard, and it was Monaco who came out on top ahead of Finland, Italy, Spain and North Macedonia. Then came the public vote. Would they finally allow Monaco to claim victory? The televote had a completely different favourite than the juries. In fact China had only finished 25th with the juries, whereas Monaco only finished 20th with the juries! The rest of the public top 5 was made up of North Macedonia, Sweden (20th with the juries), Belgium (11th) and Norway (9th). Ultimately, the second place in the televote was enough for North Macedonia to leap over 4 countries and take home the trophy. Monaco again had to settle for the silver and Finland won the bronze. The top 5 was rounded out by Italy and Spain.
North Macedonia debuted in GM04 and finished in the top 10 on their first two participations. Their 4th place in GM05 remained their best result for the longest time, as North Macedonia never became a constant fixture in the contest, but came and went and often changed HoD. The first medal was won by the 10th HoD in GM102, when Dimitar Andonovski finished as runner-up. Still, a handful of editions later North Macedonia again quit the contest and stayed away for 70 editions only returning in GM178. When they finally made their comeback they did so with a smash, winning their second silver medal at the hands of Lara Ivanova. It was, however, not enough to keep them interested in the game. That was until Pane became the 13th HoD in GM183 and claimed the first gold medal for North Macedonia in only his second attempt. Antonia Gigovska started a golden period for her country, as they finished as runner-ups in the following 2 editions and acchieved several other top 10 results after that. However, the last of those came in GM198, but North Macedonia did not give up and now they strike gold again! In total they have now participated 85 times, reaching 50 finals, finishing in the top 10 18 times and winning 6 medals. Well done North Macedonia, Lozano and Pane!
