Jugovizija 1991

The Yugoslavian national final to select their entry was held on 9 March 1991 at TV Studio A in Sarajevo, and was hosted by Draginja Balać and Senad Hadžifejzović. The formal name of the contest was "JRT izbor za pjesmu Evrovizije – Sarajevo '91". There were 16 songs in the final, from all subnational public broadcasters. This was the final Jugovizija participation for the broadcasters in Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia before declaring independence later in the same year.

The winner was chosen by the votes of eight regional three-member juries, one jury for each of the subnational public broadcasters of JRT. At least two professionals within the music industry, and one under age of 30. Each of the jurors, 24 in total, gave points to their favorite songs according to a system with the ascending format of going from 1-3, 5 and finally 7 points. The subnational public broadcasters could vote for their own entries. The winning entry was "Brazil," performed by Serbian singer Bebi Dol, composed by Zoran Vračević and written by Bebi Dol herself.[1]
