The Romanian participating broadcaster, Televiziunea Română (TVR), selected its entry through the national final Selecția Națională 1993 on 16 January 1993.

Televiziunea Română (TVR) organized the Selecția Națională 1993 on 16 January 1993, a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1993.

A winner out of the 11 competing entries —"Nu pleca" by Dida Drăgan— was announced by Institutul Român de Sondare a Opiniei Publice (IRSOP), who added up the votes of 1100 households in Romania.

Although the rest of the result was not publicly revealed, local media speculated that Laurenţiu Cazan and Laura Stoica reached second and third place respectively.

An editor of Evenimentul Zilei accused IRSOP of conspiracy and arranged voting, seeing Laurențiu Cazan as the real winner of Selecția Națională.
