Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest

In the Eurovision Song Contest of 1987, the former nation of Yugoslavia entered the song Ja sam za ples ("I'm up for a Dance"), performed by the Croatian band Novi Fosili. The selection process used a revised system for nominations and scoring. In the Contest itself the song was ranked fourth out of 22, winning 92 points.

National final

The Yugoslavian national final to select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest (Jugovizija 1987) was held on 7 March at Sava Centre in Belgrade, and was hosted by Dubravka Miloševic.

In 1987 new controversial procedures were introduced about the selection of the songs and voting, which remained in force until the last all-Yugoslav pre-selection in 1991. All TV studios nominated two songs as guaranteed participants (a total of 16) and a few more from which another 8 were selected based on their quality. Some of the studios did not enter any extra songs chosen, while TV Zagreb entered four extras, making six in total. (Two of these were the top scorers, while another two won no points). The total of 24 songs competing was the greatest number for the period 1981-1991. The new voting system allowed the TV studio's jury to be able to vote for their own entries, and most of them took this opportunity, as they did in the following four years. Every jury member (3 from each TV studio – 24 in total) could vote only for five songs, and this marginalized many of the songs, with five songs failing to win any points.

The winning entry was Ja sam za ples, performed by Novi Fosili, composed by Rajko Dujmić and written by Stevo Cvikić.
