Before Eurovision

Jugovizija 1992

The national final was held on 28 March 1992 in the RTV Belgrade Studios in Belgrade. The show was hosted by Dragana Katić, Maja Milatović, Milica Gacin, and Radoš Bajić. The Yugoslav national broadcaster, JRT, invited all Yugoslav republics to participate in the national final; however, the Slovenian and Croatian broadcasters didn't send any entries as their independence had widespread recognition by January 1992. There were also no Albanian candidates from Kosovo due to rising tensions in Kosovo between Albanians and Serbs.[1]

Originally, these three songs were supposed to be performed as songs number 7, 9 and 19, representing RTV Skopje: Tanja, Lidija & Tanja - "Slatka tajna" (7), Milk & Company - "Lady" (9) and Dragan Karanfilovski - "Parižanka" (19), but RTV Skopje withdrew a few days before the competition.

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.[2] 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 with the song "Ljubim te pesmama", composed by Radivoje Radivojević and written by Gale Janković.[3]

After Eurovision

This was the final participation of Yugoslavia at Eurovision Song Contest. Following the 1992 contest, became unable to participate after its EBU member broadcaster [[Yugoslav Radio Television|Jugoslovenska radiotelevizija]]|i=unset (JRT) was disbanded in 1992 and its successor organisations [[Radio Television of Serbia|Radio-televizija Srbije]]|i=unset (RTS) and [[Radio and Television of Montenegro|Radio-televizija Crne Gore]]|i=unset (RTCG) were barred from joining the union due to sanctions placed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 against the country.[8] [9] [10] The FRY was finally readmitted to the EBU on July 1, 2001 after gaining recognition from the United Nations and the International Telecommunication Union.

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