Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest

Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Thunder and Lightning", written by Dino Šaran and performed by Vukašin Brajić. On 11 January 2010, the Bosnian broadcaster Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT) revealed that they had internally selected Brajić to compete at the 2010 contest in Oslo, Norway. His song, "Munja i grom", was presented to the public during a show entitled BH Eurosong Show 2010 on 14 March 2010. The song was later translated from Bosnian to English for the Eurovision Song Contest with the new title "Thunder and Lightning".

Bosnia and Herzegovina was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 25 May 2010. Performing eighth, "Thunder and Lightning" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 29 May. It was later revealed that Bosnia and Herzegovina placed eighth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final, having been awarded 59 points. In the final, Bosnia and Herzegovina performed sixth and placed 17th out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 51 points.
