Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) has unveiled the complete list of artists who will compete this year for the prestigious victory at Pesma za Evroviziju 2026.
After submissions closed on November 10, an expert committee reviewed all entries and selected 24 songs that stood out for their quality, creativity, and originality.
These authors and performers will step onto the PZE stage at the end of February, hoping to win over both the audience and the jury — and secure the ticket to Vienna, the host city of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest.

A February spectacle awaits
Pesma za Evroviziju 2026 will follow the established format: two semi-finals followed by a grand final. The event is scheduled for late February and will be broadcast live from the RTS studios.
Fans will be able to watch the festival not only on TV and radio, but also on digital platforms such as RTS Planeta, RTS Zvuk, and the official YouTube channel.
The winner of the fifth edition of PZE will earn the honor of representing Serbia at the 70th anniversary Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna in May.
This national selection carries special weight, as Serbia failed to qualify for the Eurovision final in 2025 for the first time since 2017. Princ, last year’s representative with the song “Mila”, finished 14th in the second semi-final with 28 points.
With 24 fresh contenders and a clear desire to return to the Eurovision stage in full force, fans across Serbia eagerly await the end of February — when the successor to Princ will finally be revealed.
Winner of PZE 2025
