Radio-televizija Srbije (RTS) is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 2006, thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest since then.

In 2010, Milan Stanković was selected to represent the country in the contest with "Ovo je Balkan", an upbeat song with ethno elements, and is about a love story set in Belgrade.

After finishing second in 2004 when representing Serbia and Montenegro, Željko Joksimović returned to compete in 2012 with the song "Nije ljubav stvar".

On 22 November 2013, RTS announced that it would not participate in the 2014 contest due to financial difficulties and a lack of available sponsorship for a potential Serbian entry.

Odbrojavanje za Beč (English: Countdown for Vienna) was the national final organised by RTS in order to select the Serbian entry for the 2015 contest.

In March 2016, RTS internally decided for Sanja Vučić to represent Serbia in Stockholm, Sweden with the song "Goodbye (Shelter)".

[4] The following contest, Serbia was represented by Tijana Bogićević in Kyiv, Ukraine, again chosen by the national broadcaster.

[6] In February 2018, Sanja Ilić and the world music group Balkanika were declared the winners of the returning Beovizija contest.

[8] Subsequently, the Beovizija 2019 was won by Nevena Božović and "Kruna", who therefore represented Serbia in Tel Aviv, Israel.

[10] On March 1, 2020, girl group Hurricane won Beovizija 2020 with "Hasta la vista" and were supposed to compete in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

[16][17] At the beginning of March 2023, RTS organized Pesma za Evroviziju '23, where Luke Black with "Samo mi se spava" was declared the winner and Serbian representative in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

Pesma za Evroviziju '24 was held to select the Serbian representative in 2024,[19] resulting as Teya Dora with the song "Ramonda".

The delegation, whose size can greatly vary, includes a head of press, the performers, songwriters, composers, and backing vocalists, among others.

[25] Each participating broadcaster assembles a five-member jury panel consisting of music industry professionals for the Eurovision Song Contest, ranking all entries except for their own.

[103][104] Several Kosovo Albanian artists have competed in Festivali i Këngës, the national selection for Albania organised by RTSH.

The most notable Kosovo Albanian participants to date are Rona Nishliu, Lindita, and Albina Kelmendi and her family, who represented Albania in 2012, 2017 and 2023, respectively.
