Before Eurovision

Jugovizija 1992

The national final was held on 28 March 1992 in the RTV Belgrade Studios in Belgrade. The host was hosted by Radoš Bajić. There were 20 songs in the final from the five remaining subnational public broadcasters; RTV Belgrade, RTV Montenegro, RTV Prishtina, RTV Novi Sad and RTV Sarajevo. RTV Sarajevo still participated although Bosnia and Herzegovina had already declared independence prior to the national final. [1] The winning song was chosen by an expert jury, which included Lola Novaković, who represented Yugoslavia in Eurovision Song Contest 1962. The voting system remained the same as in previous years: each of the jurors 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 winner was the Serbian singer Extra Nena with the song "Ljubim te pesmama", composed by Radivoje Radivojević and written by Gale Janković. [2]

After Eurovision

This was the final participation of Yugoslavia at Eurovision Song Contest. Three weeks after the 1992 contest, United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 (adopted 30 May 1992) placed sanctions on FR Yugoslavia,[4] which included a ban on its participation in international contests and cultural events (such as the ESC). In addition to that, FR Yugoslavia was thrown out of EBU on June 30, 1992.

Newly-formed republics, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia then appeared independently beginning with the 1993 contest, Macedonia (as of 2019 North Macedonia) joined the 1998 contest and finally Serbia and Montenegro joined the contest in 2004.

Notes
  1. Sestre Barudžija were backing singers for Yugoslavia in ESC 1983. One of them, Ida Barudžija, was also a member of Aska who represented Yugoslavia in ESC 1982. Ida also represented Yugoslavia in ESC 1984.
  2. For the Eurovision performance, the song was conducted by Swedish host conductor Anders Berglund, who also played accordion.
