Yugoslavia participated for the last time in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, held in Malmö, Sweden as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (consisting of Serbia and Montenegro). The last Yugoslav representative was Extra Nena with the song "Ljubim te pesmama".
The national final was held on 28 March 1992 in the RTV Belgrade Studios in Belgrade. The host was hosted by Radoš Bajić. 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.[1] 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 Extra Nena with the song "Ljubim te pesmama", composed by Radivoje Radivojević and written by Gale Janković.[2]
Extra Nena performed 20th on the night of the contest, following Italy and preceding Norway. At the close of voting, it had received a total of 44 points, placing 13th in a field of 23 competing countries.[3][4] The Yugoslav jury awarded its 12 points to Israel.
This was the final participation of Yugoslavia at Eurovision Song Contest. Three weeks after the 1992 contest, United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 (adopted 30 May 1992) placed sanctions on FR Yugoslavia,[6] which included a ban on its participation in international contests and cultural events (such as the ESC). In addition to that, FR Yugoslavia was thrown out of EBU on June 30, 1992.
