Before Eurovision
Jugovizija 1983
Jugovizija 1983 took place on 4 March 1983 at the Studio M in Novi Sad, hosted by Vesna Momirov and Tomislav Dražić.[1] Each of the eight Jugoslavenska radiotelevizija (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 "Džuli" representing RTV Titograd, written by Danijel Popović and Mario Mihaljević, and performed by Danijel himself.
