Yugoslavia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 27 times, debuting in 1961 and competing every year until its last appearance in 1992, with the exceptions of 1977–1980, and 1985. The Yugoslavian participant broadcaster in the contest was Jugoslavenska radiotelevizija (JRT) which selected its entrant with the national competition Jugovizija. Yugoslavia won the 1989 contest and hosted the 1990 contest.

"Neke davne zvezde" performed by Ljiljana Petrović was Yugoslavia's first entrant in the contest in 1961 and placed eighth. In 1962, "Ne pali svetla u sumrak" by Lola Novaković gave the country its first top five result, finishing fourth. This would remain Yugoslavia's only top five result until 1983, when "Džuli" by Danijel finished fourth. "Ja sam za ples" by Novi Fosili also finished fourth in 1987. In 1989, the country achieved its only victory in the contest, when "Rock Me" by Riva won.

History

1961–1991: Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

Jugoslavenska radiotelevizija (JRT) was a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest representing the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). It participated in the contest representing SFR Yugoslavia from its 6th edition in 1961 until the 36th edition in 1991.

Yugoslavia debuted in the contest in 1961 along with Spain and Finland. The national pre-selection organized by JRT was Jugovizija, and it featured entries submitted by its affiliates, the subnational public broadcasting centers based in the capitals of each of the constituent republics of the Yugoslav federation: RTV Sarajevo (SR Bosnia and Herzegovina), RTV Zagreb and RTV Split (SR Croatia), RTV Skopje (SR Macedonia), RTV Titograd (SR Montenegro), RTV Belgrade (SR Serbia), and RTV Ljubljana (SR Slovenia); and also the broadcasting services of the autonomous provinces within SR Serbia: RTV Priština (SAP Kosovo) and RTV Novi Sad (SAP Vojvodina). The first affiliates to compete in 1961 were RTV Belgrade, RTV Ljubljana, and RTV Zagreb, while the others joined in the following years.

Yugoslavia was represented by a variety of artists from five of the eight Yugoslav federal units. These artists were from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia, with Macedonia, Vojvodina, and Kosovo never passing the national pre-selection. Croatia was the most successful constituent republic, as its performers won the national contest 13 out of the 26 times SFR Yugoslavia took part in the contest. From 1977 to 1980, and in 1985, Yugoslavia did not participate in the contest, however Jugovizija still took place.

Yugoslavia won the 1989 contest with the song "Rock Me" by the group Riva. In accordance with the rules, the 1990 contest took place in Zagreb, hosted by RTV Zagreb on behalf of JRT, as the entry came from Croatia.

1992: Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

During the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, the former constituent republics of Croatia, Slovenia, and Macedonia declared secession and hence withdrew from Jugovizija, while the then-leaderships of Serbia and Montenegro agreed to maintain a close alliance. On 28 March 1992, the broadcasters from the republics that still (at least formally) constituted the fading and shrunken former Yugoslav federation took part in 1992's Jugovizija held in Belgrade. It included artists not only from Serbia and Montenegro, but also from Bosnia and Herzegovina, although the latter declared independence on 1 March of that year. Among its candidates was Alma Čardžić. The winner of that pre-selection was "Ljubim te pesmama" performed by Extra Nena (Snežana Berić) from Serbia. Before that year's contest took place, on 28 April, a new federal state was formed, consisting of Serbia and Montenegro and called the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which was represented by the previously mentioned "Ljubim te pesmama" by Extra Nena in the 1992 contest.

Only a few weeks after the 1992 contest, FR Yugoslavia was banned from participating in Eurovision due to UN sanctions during the Yugoslav Wars. Even under the sanctions, the contest could continue to be broadcast in the country except in 1999 due to the NATO bombing of RTS headquarters. It was not until 2001 that Udruženje javnih radija i televizija (UJRT) was able to join the EBU after sanctions were lifted. UJRT participated in Eurovision in 2004 and 2005 representing Serbia and Montenegro.

Successor states

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, its former constituent republics declared independence. The formerly sub-national public radio and TV stations of Yugoslavia changed to national but under new names, including: RTVSLO, HRT, RTS, MRT, BHRT, and RTCG. Since joining the EBU respectively, all of them have independently participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing their countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and North Macedonia (designated as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia until 2018).

Participation overview

The following lists the 27 contestants that won the local competition and went on to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest.

22 out of the 26 Yugoslav entries in the contest between 1961 and 1991 were in Serbo-Croatian and the rest in Slovenian. The majority of entries, 10, came from Croatia, where Yugoslavia's pop music industry was centered. No entry from Macedonia or Kosovo ever made it to the contest, illustrating a cultural marginalisation of the poorest parts of the country.

Jugovizija, the usual selection process for Yugoslavia, also took place between 1978 and 1980, and in 1985, but with no intention of sending an entrant to Eurovision.
