The winner of Pesma za Evroviziju ’22 will also be decided by a 50/50 combination of votes from a jury panel and the Serbian public.

Last year Serbia was represented by Hurricane, who won Serbia’s national selection Beovizija in 2020 and was selected internally as Serbia’s representative by the broadcaster in 2021. In Rotterdam, they qualified to the final with the song “Loco Loco“, where they finished fifteenth.
