Yugoslavia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 with the song "Ljubim te pesmama", composed by Radivoje Radivojević, with lyrics by Gale Janković, and performed by Extra Nena. The Yugoslav participating broadcaster, Jugoslavenska radiotelevizija (JRT), selected its entry through a national final. This was the last entry from Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Before Eurovision
National final
Jugoslavenska ratiotelevizija (JRT) held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992. Following a meeting between all eight JRT subnational broadcasters on 17 October 1991, JRT confirmed its participation in the 1992 contest and that Makedonska Radio-Televizija (MRT) was to organise and host a national final which was going to be a cooperation and competition between eight of the subnational broadcasters that made up JRT at the time: HRT (Croatia), RTCG (Montenegro), RTV Beograd (Serbia), RTV Novi Sad (Autonomous Province of Vojvodina), RTV Priština (Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija), RTV Sarajevo (SR Bosnia and Herzegovina), MRT (Macedonia), and RTV Slovenija (Slovenia).[1] However, by 1 February 1992, RTV Slovenija and HRT had withdrawn from the contest and RTV Beograd had taken over hosting and organising duties from MRT.[2]
The national final had several names in TV-guides from the time, such as: "Izbor JRT predstavnika za "Pesmu Evrovizije"" in Serbo-Croatian.[3] The national final was referred to in the broadcast as "Jugoslovenski izbor za pesmu Evrovizije '92".[4] However, the national final along with every other Yugoslav national final has been referred to post hoc as Jugovizija by several sources.[5][6][7]
Competing entries
By 25 February 1992, each of the six participating broadcasters submitted one entry to JRT for the final, and several additional entries to a JRT jury, consisting of one member from each of the six broadcasters, who were tasked with selecting at least six additional songs to add to the competition.[2] A total of twenty songs took part in the competition after MRT and RTV Priština withdrew their participants from the competition.[3][4][8] Around 100 songs were submitted to the national final.[3]

After Eurovision
This was the final participation of Yugoslavia at Eurovision Song Contest. Following the 1992 contest, the Yugoslav EBU member broadcaster, Jugoslovenska radiotelevizija (JRT), was disbanded that same year and its successor organisations in the FR Yugoslavia, Radio-televizija Srbije (RTS) in Serbia and Radio-televizija Crne Gore (RTCG) in Montenegro, were barred from joining the union due to sanctions placed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 against the country.[14][15][16][17] The union between RTS and RTCG, Udruženje javnih radija i televizija (UJRT), was finally readmitted to the EBU on 1 July 2001 after the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro gained recognition from the United Nations and the International Telecommunication Union.
The broadcasters from the newly-formed republics, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia then appeared independently at Eurovision beginning with the 1993 contest, MRT from North Macedonia joined the contest in 1998, and finally UJRT from Serbia and Montenegro joined the contest in 2004.
