Jugovizija 1986

The Yugoslav national final to select their entry was held on 7 March 1986, at the Palace of Youth and Sports in Pristina, and was hosted by Enver Petrovci. 350 songs were submitted for the national final.[1]

Each of the eight JRT participating sub-national broadcasters (RTV Sarajevo, RTV Skopje, RTV Novi Sad, RTV Titograd, RTV Zagreb, RTV Belgrade, RTV Ljubljana, and RTV Pristina) entered two songs to Jugovizija, making a national final of sixteen songs. The winner was decided by the votes of the regional juries of the eight broadcasters, which could not vote for their own entries.

The winner was "Željo moja" representing RTV Zagreb, written by Zrinko Tutić, and performed by Doris Dragović.
