Pesma za Evroviziju '26 (Serbian Cyrillic: Песма за Евровизију '26; PzE '26) is expected to be the fifth edition of Pesma za Evroviziju, the national final organised by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) to select the Serbian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026.
Format and production
Shortly after the 2025 contest, the Serbian head of delegation, Uroš Marković, indicated that Serbia would once again organize Pesma za Evroviziju to determine its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. Public relations manager and contest commentator for RTS, Duška Vučinić, confirmed that the broadcaster would not withdraw from the contest in 2026.[1][2] Uroš Marković, Serbian Head of delegation at the Eurovision Song Contest, will serve as the new contest supervisor, following the removal of Olivera Kovačević from the role. He previously also served as the music editor for the contest under Kovačević.[3]
Visual identity
On 1 December 2025, a new logo for 2026 was unveiled. It contains Cyrillic letters "P" (П), "Z" (З) and "E".[4]
Competing entries
On 15 September 2025, RTS opened an online form for interested artists to submit their entries. The submission period is set to last until 1 November 2025.[5] Performers are required to hold Serbian citizenship, whilst there were no limitations as to whom could be a songwriter. At least 51% of lyrics of the submitted entries had to be in one of the official languages of Serbia.[6]
The 24 contestants were announced on 3 December 2025.[7] The list of participants includes Mirna Radulović, who, as part of the group Moje 3, represented Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013. In addition to Radulović, the following artists are returning to the Serbian selection:
- Harem Girls, which competed the previous year;
- Zejna, who competed in 2024, 2023, and 2022;
- Yanx, who competed in 2024, as well as at Beovizija 2019, 2018, 2009, and Beosong 2013;
- Eegor, who competed in 2023;
