The Yugoslav national final, to select their entry, was held on 1 February in Belgrade. There were 8 songs in the final, one from each of the six republics and the two autonomous provinces submitted through their respective subnational public broadcasters. Four subnational broadcasters made their debut; Radio Skopje, Radio Titograd, Radio Prishtina, and Radio Novi Sad. The winner was chosen by the votes of an eight-member jury of experts, one juror for each of the six republics and the two autonomous provinces. The winning entry was "Brodovi", performed by Croatian singer Vice Vukov, composed and written by Mario Nardelli. He previously came 6th in the 1962 Yugoslav Final.[1]
