All you need to know ahead of the 'Pesma za Evroviziju' final, where Serbia will select its entry for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel.

How To Watch

The final of 'Pesma za Evroviziju' 2025 is happening on Friday 28 February with a start time of 21:00 CET. In Serbia, it's airing via national broadcaster RTS, but if you're outside of Serbia and would like to tune in, you can watch the whole show streaming live over on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.

About Pesma za Evroviziju

Friday night sees the big final of Pesma za Evroviziju coming to us live from the Serbian capital Belgrade.

Earlier in the week, viewers watched as two semi-finals of the Eurovision pre-selection played out, which saw to it that a starting line up of 30 songs was reduced to 16 finalists. Serbia will now get the chance to vote for which of the 16 entries will get to represent the Balkan nation at Basel 2025.

For the final, we've got a presenter lineup of Dragana Kosjerina, Kristina Radenković and Stefan Popović, to take us through the 16 songs as well as the ensuing scores!

Voting on the night will come from two sources. The Serbian audience watching at home will be able to have their say on which song gets to represent them on the international stage. And broadcaster RTS has also put together an expert jury that will be contributing points once all 16 entries have been performed.

Both the public vote and the jury vote will account for 50% of the result on Friday night.

As well as the 16 competing entries, RTS has also lined up some extra-special guest performances for anyone tuning in.

No spoilers, but we know that at least three of Serbia's former Eurovision acts are going to be making an appearance; each of them widely regarded as big fan faves!

This is the 4th edition of the Serbian national final. The first three editions of Pesma za Evroviziju have yielded positive results for Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest, with all three winners having gone on to take the country into the Grand Final.
