HELSINKI, Finland, May 13 (UPI) -- The winner of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland, was the Serbian song "Moltiva," performed by Marija Serifovic.

The ballad received 268 votes to take the grand prize at the contest Saturday night, the Helsingin Sanomat reported.

The win means Serbia will hold the international song contest next year.

The Top 10 included songs from Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Belarus, Greece, Armenia, Hungary and Moldova.

Finland's "Leave Me Alone" by Hanna Pakarinen came in 17th, with 53 points.

No one suffered the embarrassment of getting zero or "null points," though five-time winner Ireland came in 24th.
