Serbian broadcaster RTS is welcoming applications to be the entry that represents Serbia at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland.

Fans can look forward to the return of the highly acclaimed pre-selection Pesma za Evroviziju, which has served as Serbia's national final for selecting its Eurovision entry for the past three years.

RTS has announced that it has opened the submission window for songs hoping to compete in the Serbian pre-selection. The submission window will remain open until 1 November 2024.

The broadcaster has also revealed that as in recent years, the voting format of Pesma za Evroviziju will be 50% from Serbian TV viewers and 50% from a jury of music experts.

Since its inception, Pesma za Evroviziju has given us three winners: In Corpore Sano by Konstrakta, Samo Mi Se Spava by Luke Black, and RAMONDA by TEYA DORA. All three songs have taken Serbia to the Grand Final, with Konstrakta's In Corpore Sano giving her country a 5th-place finish at Turin 2022.

Composers and artists wanting to submit songs to Pesma za Evroviziju 2025 can find out more details over at RTS' website.
