Serbia's national selection for Eurovision 2023, Pesma za Evroviziju, has come to a close and we know who will be Konstrakta's (Serbia 2022) successor!

The 16 finalists performed their songs one last time tonight in hopes of receiving enough votes to secure the victory. At the end of the show, and after all the votes were counted, Luke Black was given the green light to head to Eurovision this May with his song Samo mi se spava.

Pesma za Evroviziju 23

Serbia used Pesma za Evroviziju to select their Eurovision 2023 representative. The show consisted of two semi finals and one final broadcast from RTS Studio 8 in Belgrade.

All three shows had four hosts. The on stage hosts were Serbian actor Milan Marić and Serbian TV host Dragana Kosjerina, and the green room hosts were Serbian actress Kristina Radenković and actor Stefan Popović.

The results were determined by a 50/50 voting style split between a professional jury and a public vote.
