Pesma za Evroviziju '23 (Serbian Cyrillic: Песма за Евровизију '23, PzE '23) was the second edition of Pesma za Evroviziju, Serbia's national final organised by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) to select the Serbian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. The selection consisted of two semi-finals held on 1 and 2 March 2023, respectively, and a final on 4 March 2023.[1] All shows were hosted by Milan Marić and Dragana Kosjerina with backstage interviews conducted by Kristina Radenković [sr] and Stefan Popović.[2] The three shows were broadcast on RTS1, RTS Svet and RTS Planeta as well as streamed online via the broadcaster's website rts.rs and the broadcaster's Eurovision dedicated Youtube channel.

Format and production

[edit]

In 2023, RTS decided to once again organize Pesma za Evroviziju to decide its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. On the same day as the submission window had opened, the rulebook was published.[3] The selection consisted of two semi-finals, held on 1 and 2 March, and a final on 4 March 2023.[4]

Voting

[edit]

In all 3 shows, the jury and the televoting award one set of 12, 10 & 8–1 points each to their 10 favourite entries. Eight entries that scored the most points in each semi-final progressed to the final. The act with the most points in the final is declared the winner.[5][6]

Production

[edit]

Pesma za Evroviziju '23 was produced by RTS and SkyMusic.[7] PzE '23 had a budget of around 150,000, whilst around 250,000 were spent.[8][9]

Hosts

[edit]

All shows were hosted by Milan Marić and Dragana Kosjerina with greenroom interviews conducted by Kristina Radenković [sr] and Stefan Popović.[10]

Competing entries

[edit]

The submission window for competing entries opened on the 1st of September 2022, and was due to close on the 15th of November the same year,[11][3] but was later pushed back to the 1st of December.[12] Artists were required to be Serbian citizens and submit entries in one of the official languages of the Republic of Serbia, while songwriters of any nationality were allowed to submit songs.[13] At the closing of the deadline, around 185 submissions were received.[14]

A selection committee consisting of RTS music editors reviewed the submissions and selected 32 entries to proceed to the national final. The selected competing entries were announced on 9 January 2023 and among the competing artists are Tijana Dapčević, who represented Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, and Hurricane (albeit with a different line-up), which represented Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 and 2021.[15][16]
