Performing during the show in position 6, "Čaroban" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May.

Serbia's 2010 entry "Ovo je Balkan" performed by Milan Stanković qualified to the final and placed thirteenth.

In 2010, RTS selected Goran Bregović to compose songs for a national final featuring three artists.

The winner, "Čaroban" performed by Nina, was decided exclusively by the Serbian public via SMS voting.

[7] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.

On 17 January 2011, 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 background LED screens displayed pink spirals on a silver backdrop which later transitioned to a rainbow-themed tunnel.

The three backing vocalists that joined Nina on stage were: Tijana Bogićević, Sanja Bogosavljević and Saška Janković.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant 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 could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
