Yugoslavia participated for the last time in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992. Yugoslavia (as a republic consisting of Serbia and Montenegro) decided their entrant for the contest through a national final, Jugovizija 1992, where it was decided that Extra Nena, with the song "Ljubim te pesmama", would sing for Yugoslavia at Eurovision 1992.

Contents

The winning song was chosen by an expert jury, which included Lola Novaković, who represented Yugoslavia in 1962.

After the contest, United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 (adopted May 30, 1992) placed sanctions on FR Yugoslavia, which included a ban on its participation in international contests and cultural events (such as the ESC). Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia then appeared independently beginning with the 1993 contest, Macedonia joined the 1998 contest and Serbia and Montenegro were allowed to participate once again in 2002.

National final

The national final was held on 28 March 1992 in the TV Center in Belgrade. Artists from Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina competed. There were twenty songs competing in the national final.

Members of the jury were: I - Enes Bajramović, II - Vojkan Borisavljević, III - Ivan Vitalić, IV - Zoran Danilović, V - Feti Dautović, VI - Dušan Živić, VII - Stevan Zarić, VIII - Ivana Jeftić, IX - Andjelko Maletić, X - Brano Mališić, XI - Miroslav Maraus, XII - Vesna Mulić, XIII - Lola Novaković, XIV - Dejan Perišić, XV - Sonja Spasić

At Eurovision

Extra Nena performed 20th on the night of the contest, following Italy and preceding Norway. The song received 44 points at the close of the voting, placing 13th in a field of 23.
