An expert committee consisting of Sokli, Darja vajger (singer, vocal coach and 1995 and 1999 Slovenian Eurovision entrant) and Vladimir Grai (composer of Serbia's winning Eurovision entry "Molitva" in 2007) shortlisted three songs from the received submissions, with the Slovenian entry being determined by an alternate expert committee consisting of Darja vajger, Mojca Menart (Head of the publishing business of ZKP RTV Slovenija) and Matev alehar (musician and singer-songwriter) from the three shortlisted songs.
