Yugoslavia + Serbia & Montenegro in Eurovision Song Contest (1961-2006)

Here's a recap of all the songs that competed for Yugoslavia + Serbia & Montenegro in Eurovision Song Contest from 1961 to 2006. Please, enjoy! Yugoslavia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 27 times, debuting in 1961 and competing every year until its last appearance in 1992, with the exceptions of 1977–1980, and 1985. The Yugoslavian participating broadcaster in the contest was Yugoslav Radio Television (JRT), which usually selected its entrant with a national final. Yugoslavia won the 1989 contest and hosted the 1990 contest. "Neke davne zvezde" performed by Ljiljana Petrović was Yugoslavia's first entrant in the contest in 1961 and placed eighth. In the 1962 contest, "Ne pali svetla u sumrak" by Lola Novaković gave the country its first top five result, finishing fourth. This would remain Yugoslavia's only top five result until the 1983 contest, when "Džuli" by Danijel finished fourth. "Ja sam za ples" by Novi Fosili also finished fourth in the 1987 contest. In 1989, the country achieved its only victory in the contest, when "Rock Me" by Riva won. The State Union of Serbia and Montenegro was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest twice: in 2004 and in 2005. Their debut appearance was a success, with the song "Lane moje" performed by Željko Joksimović finishing second. The following year, they placed seventh, with "Zauvijek moja" by the band No Name. The Serbian-Montenegrin participating broadcaster in the contest was Udruženje javnih radija i televizija (UJRT) which selected its entrant with the national selection Evropesma. UJRT originally planned to participate in the 2006 contest but due to a scandal in the national selection which caused tensions between the Serbian and Montenegrin broadcasters that formed the UJRT, it withdrew from the competition while retaining the right to vote. Following the 2006 Montenegrin independence referendum, Serbia and Montenegro have participated in the contest as separate entities, making their independent debuts in 2007.
