Pesma za Evroviziju'22 was the first edition of Pesma za Evroviziju , Serbia's national final organised by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) to select the Serbian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. [1] The selection consisted of two semi-finals held on 3 and 4 March 2022, respectively, and a final on 5 March 2022. [2] All shows were hosted by Dragana Kosjerina and Jovan Radomir with backstage interviews conducted by Kristina Radenković and Stefan Popović. [3] The three shows were broadcast on RTS1 and RTS Planeta as well as streamed online via the broadcaster's website rts.rs. [4]
In 2022, RTS decided to organize Pesma za Evroviziju to decide its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, replacing the previous national final, Beovizija. [1] On 28 September 2022, the rulebook was published. [5] The selection consisted of two semi-finals, held on 3 and 4 March, and a final on 5 March 2023. [2]
In all 3 shows, the jury and the televoting award one set of 12, 10 & 8–1 points each to their 10 favourite entries. Nine entries that scored the most points in each semi-final progressed to the final. The act with the most points in the final is declared the winner. [6]
Pesma za Evroviziju '22 was produced by SkyMusic and RTS. [7] RTS management stated that the budget for the contest was € 233,000, and that € 277,000 were spent. [8]
All shows were hosted by Dragana Kosjerina and Jovan Radomir with greenroom interviews conducted by Kristina Radenković and Stefan Popović. [3]
Artists and songwriters were able to submit their entries between 28 September 2021 and 1 December 2021. Artists were required to be Serbian citizens and submit entries in one of the official languages of the Republic of Serbia, while songwriters of any nationality were allowed to submit songs. [9] At the closing of the deadline, 150 submissions were received. [10] A selection committee consisting of RTS music editors reviewed the submissions and selected thirty-six entries to proceed to the national final. [11] The selected competing entries were announced on 14 January 2022 and among the competing artists was Sara Jo, who represented Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 as part of the group Moje 3. [12] [13]
On 19 January 2022, Stefan Zdravković (Princ od Vranje) announced his withdrawal from the national final due to conflicts with the songwriter of his song "Ljubi svog čoveka". The song was instead performed by Tijana Dapčević, who represented Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, under an altered version titled "Ljubi, ljubi doveka". [14] [15] On 14 February 2022, RTS announced that Goca Tržan had withdrawn from the national final due to health problems and was replaced with the song "Devojko sa plamenom u očima" performed by Chegi and Braća Bluz Band.

After the final, singer Aca Lukas, who placed 5th in the final with the song "Oskar", accused the Serbian public broadcaster RTS of irregularities in the voting of the selection, stating he would file a criminal complaint against the head of RTS, editor of entertainment program Olivera Kovačević and general director Dragan Bujošević for "stealing votes". [31] RTS responded, stating that the SMS votes were counted automatically by software which did not allow interference. The Comtrade System Integration company, which set up the software to count the votes, said it was prepared to hand the votes to the authorities if requested to do so, adding that the same data is available from mobile phone operators. [31] He also made comments about the winning performer Konstrakta, saying: "I could have gone on stage and washed my feet, but I chose instead to perform", also claiming she is working for opposition political parties. [32] Konstrakta, laughing off his suggestion, jokingly offered "to wash his feet for him." [32] After the controversy, RTS and Kovačević announced they would sue Lukas. [31]
Beovizija was a music festival established in 2003. Since 2007 it was the national selection for Serbia's representative at the Eurovision Song Contest. Beovizija was organised and broadcast live each year by RTS1, on RTRS in Bosnia, and internationally on Eurovision.tv and RTS SAT as of 2008.

Kornelije Kovač and his two daughters Aleksandra Kovač and Kristina Kovač were selected to each compose a song for the national final on 26 February 2011, which resulted in "Čaroban" performed by Nina as the winner entirely by a public televote.
