Pesma za Evroviziju'24 (Serbian Cyrillic : Песма за Евровизију '24; PzE '24) was the third edition of Pesma za Evroviziju , the national final organised by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) to select the Serbian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. The selection consisted of two semi-finals held on 27 and 29 February 2024, respectively, and a final on 2 March 2024, [1] [2] all presented by Dragana Kosjerina and Slaven Došlo. [3]
In 2023, RTS confirmed that the national final format Pesma za Evroviziju would once again be organised to determine its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. [4] The selection consisted of two semi-finals on 27 and 29 February 2024, and a final on 2 March 2024, all held at the RTS Studio 8 in Košutnjak. Fourteen contestants competed in each semi-final, eight of them qualifying for the final. [5] [6] [7] The semi-final each artist would take part in and their running order were revealed on 24 January 2024. [8]
Pesma za Evroviziju'24 was produced by RTS and SkyMusic. [9] PzE '24 had a budget of around € 250,000, whilst around € 300,000 were spent, with an additional € 173,000 spent in non-monetary contributions by RTS. [10]
The eight qualifiers from each semi-final and the winner of the final were selected through a 50/50 combination of votes from a jury and from a public televote, with the same system used to award points in the Eurovision Song Contest final: the jury and the public each awarded one set of 12, 10 and 8–1 points to their 10 favourite entries. [11] [12]
Dragana Kosjerina and Slaven Došlo were the main stage presenters of the shows. Kristina Radenković and Stefan Popović hosted the green room segments. [3]
On 26 July 2023, RTS opened an online form for interested artists to submit their entries.

[15] Performers were required to hold Serbian citizenship, whilst there were no limitations as to whom could be a songwriter. At least 51% of lyrics of the submitted entries had to be in one of the official languages of Serbia. [11] At the closing of the deadline, a record 235 entries had been submitted. These were assessed by a dedicated committee at a listening round on 11 December 2023. 28 entries were then selected, and were announced on 21 December. [1] [2] [6] [5] They were released on 25 January 2024. [16]

The three shows were aired on RTS1, RTS Svet and RTS Planeta , as well as being streamed online via the broadcaster's website rts.rs and its official YouTube channel. [6] The final was also aired on Radio Beograd 1 . [24] Plans to broadcast the final of the contest on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel were dropped, presumably following technical difficulties related to the broadcaster's YouTube streams of the semi-final shows; the first semi-final stream started with a delay of a few minutes, whilst the second semi-final stream started after the first four songs. [25]

Following the contest, some members of the public were dissatisfied with the result, namely " Gnezdo orlovo " by Breskvica not winning the contest despite finishing first in the televoting. An online petition was started to demand a re-cast of the vote, also demanding that the public vote only decide the winner. [31]
Additionally, during the broadcast of the final of the contest, it was revealed that jury member Sajsi MC had awarded zero points to "Gnezdo orlovo", causing backlash amongst some members of the public, as well as in some media, [32] while earning praise from others. [33] Marija Šerifović and Zoran Živanović Žika –also members of the jury –also received threats. [34] All three of the mentioned jurors preferred the song "Ramonda" to "Gnezdo orlovo". [19] Some accused RTS and Sajsi MC of conspiring to put her on the jury for the purpose of giving Breskvica no points, with the juror allegedly receiving threats of violence [35] and death threats. [34] Dragan Brajović Braja expressed his dissatisfaction by commenting that "mediocrity, an LGBT icon, a child of Other Serbia and musical irrelevance decided the outcome". [36] Pesma za Evroviziju supervisor Olivera Kovačević stated that the voting was regular and the results of the contest could not be changed. [34]
A rally was scheduled for 9 March in front of the RTS headquarters in support of Breskvica, [37] with an announcement of further protests and blockades of Belgrade's road arteries, such as Slavija Square and Gazela Bridge, if the result was not overturned and Breskvica was declared the winner. [38] Breskvica supported people's right to protest. [39] Few people were ultimately reported to have shown up. [40]
