Like previous year the selection of the songs for the Serbian national selection will be made by the Selection Committee of RTS (consisted out of music editors of RTS) and it will be done from all applications received before the deadline. The committee will choose the songs based solely on the musical, interpretive and artistic quality of those compositions. If none of the compositions submitted to the public competition meet the required musical quality, RTS has the right to independently choose a composition (out of the compositions submitted to the competition) which will represent Serbia and RTS at the competition. Furthermore the selection of the Serbian entrz for Eurovision Song 2023 will be made by an expert jury composed of musicians and media creators as well as the audience at the competition, according to the Eurovision principle 50% of the votes from the jury and 50% from the audience.
At Eurovision 2022, Serbia was represented by Konstrakta who brought a mixture between Serbian and Latin language which graced the Eurovision stage for the first time in her song In Corpore Sano. After receiving 312 she ended on 5th place in the final of the show. You can check out her performance below
