    Moldova in Junior Eurovision

    In 2010, TRM announced its debut in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. They were the first country making its debut since Armenia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Lithuania debuted in 2007. The country took part for the first time represented by Ștefan Roșcovan who performed 'Ali Baba' and finished 8th with 54 points. 

    Since 2010 Moldova took part four times in the contest. Their best placing was accomplished in 2011 with Lerika and her song 'No, No' which came 6th with 78 points. In 2012 Denis Midone represented the nation with the song "Toate vor fi" and finished 10th while Moldova's last participation was Rafael Bobeica who came 11th singing "Cum să fim".
