Yugoslavia was present at the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, held in Bergen, Norway, after opting out of the previous year's contest in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Yugoslav national final to select their entry was held on 7 March 1986 at the Palace of Youth and Sports in Priština, and was hosted by Enver Petrovci, a renowned theatre actor.
Sixteen songs made it to the national final, which was broadcast by JRT to all of the regions of Yugoslavia. The winner was decided by the votes of eight regional juries (Sarajevo, Zagreb, Skopje, Titograd, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Pristina and Novi Sad).
The winning entry was "Željo moja", performed by Croatian singer Doris Dragović and composed by Zrinko Tutić.
