On 10 September 2014 Bosnia and Herzegovina were confirmed again as participating in the contest in Kazan, Tatarstan.[5] On 14 October 2014 Hayat TV confirmed that they had internally selected the singer Mensur Salkić to represent them in Kazan.[6] It was announced on 25 October that Mensur would singer "Šutim" at the contest,[7] in Kazan the song was changed to "Susuyorum" an entirely Turkish version of the song.

In the semi final Bosnia & Herzegovina was shown as having received 171 points which was incorrect, this changed an eleventh place finish into a tie with Yakutia and Bulgaria.[8] It was decided the day after the semi final that the top 15 countries would qualify for the final.
