History

After Serbia and Montenegro dissolved in 2006, Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) decided to continue to take part in the contest. Their first entry as an independent state was in 2006, when Neustrašivi učitelji stranih jezika represented Serbia with "Učimo strane jezike", a song written in Serbian, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Japanese coming fifth and received points from all participating countries.

In 2007 the Serbian representative was Nevena Božović with the ballad "Piši mi". She finished in third place and received points from all participating countries. Božović also represented Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 as a part of the group Moje 3.

Serbia's worst result was in 2008 when they were represented by Maja Mazić with "Uvek kad u nebo pogledam", which only received 12 points from Macedonia and finished in twelfth place. Mazić was spokesperson for Serbia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

Serbia competed at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2009, held in Kiev, Ukraine. RTS held a national final to select the fourth Serbian entry for the contest in September 2009.[citation needed] The winner of pre-selection and Serbian representative in Kiev was the group Ništa Lično with pop-rock song "Onaj pravi". The group members were Anica Cvetković, the leading vocal, Aleksandar Graić, composer and pianist, who is a son of composer of "Molitva", winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, Una Krlić and Karolina Lodi, as the guitarists and Petar Cvetković, Anica's brother, with drums.

Sonja Škorić was chosen to represent Serbia in 2010 with Čarobna noć; the second ballad song to have represented Serbia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.[citation needed] On 20 November 2010, Škorić performed fourth in the running order. The stage was dark, and there were blue lights on. Moving stars were on the LED screens. As the song was going on, lights became yellow, and then the whole stage was lighted. Sonja started singing alone on the stage, and she finished like that. Serbia finished this contest third, only 7 points behind the winner, scoring 113 points.

On 5 June 2011, it was announced that Serbia would withdraw from the 2011 contest.[1] RTS said that it's okay to miss participation from at least one edition, but the nation was absent for two further contests, in 2012 and 2013.[citation needed]

On 25 July 2014, Serbia announced its return to the 2014 contest, after a three-year absence.[2]
