Serbia is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with " Ramonda" performed by Teya Dora. The Serbian national broadcaster, Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), organised the national final Pesma za Evroviziju '24 in order to select the Serbian entry for the 2024 contest.
Prior to the 2024 contest, Serbia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest fifteen times since its first entry in 2007, winning the contest with their debut entry " Molitva" performed by Marija Šerifović. Since 2007, 12 out of the 15 total Serbian entries have featured in the final with the nation failing to qualify in 2009, 2013 and 2017. Serbia's 2023 entry, " Samo mi se spava" performed by Luke Black, qualified to the final and placed 24th. [1]
The Serbian national broadcaster, Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), broadcasts the event within Serbia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. The broadcaster has used both internal selections and national finals to determine their entries throughout the years. Between 2007 and 2009, Serbia used the Beovizija national final, but after their 2009 entry failed to qualify Serbia to the final, the broadcaster shifted their selection strategy to selecting specific composers to create songs for artists. After a successful internal selection in 2012, in 2013 RTS returned to an open national final format, titled Beosong, but the country failed to qualify to the final. After reverting to internal selection in 2016 and 2017, the country returned to using the Beovizija national final in 2018 and 2019, managing to qualify to the final on both occasions. In 2022, RTS returned to organising a national final under the name Pesma za Evroviziju, a format which was re-confirmed in 2023.
On 13 July 2023, RTS confirmed Serbia's participation in the 2024 contest, announcing the organisation of a national final in order to select the country's entry. [2] This was later confirmed to be Pesma za Evroviziju for a third time. [3] [4]
The third edition of Pesma za Evroviziju, the Serbian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest, took place between 27 February and 2 March 2024 among 28 competing entries. [5]
The final took place on 2 March 2024. The winner was selected based on the 50/50 combination of votes from five jurors and from a public televote.
