On 15 December 2011, the Bosnian broadcaster Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT) revealed that they had internally selected Maya Sar to compete at the 2012 contest in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Performing during the show in position 17, "Korake ti znam" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 26 May.

Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004 contest, Bosnia and Herzegovina has, up to this year, managed to qualify on each occasion the nation has participated and compete in the final.

[4] "Korake ti znam" was presented during a television special on 15 March 2012, which was held at the Hotel Europe in Sarajevo and hosted by Ajdin Tači.

[10][11] Maya Sar made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "Korake ti znam" as the Bosnian Eurovision entry.

On 18 February, Maya Sar performed during the presentation show of the 2012 Croatian Eurovision entry, Dora 2012 - Idemo na Eurosong s Ninom!, which was held at the Anton Marti Studio in Zagreb, Croatia.

On 25 January 2012, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.

The Bosnian performance featured Maya Sar in a black dress with raised shoulder pads designed by Selma Starfinger[18] and jewelry.

[23][24] Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding points from 1-8, 10 and 12 as determined by a combination of 50% national jury and 50% televoting.

This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
